Imitating Art

Domestic

Oh what beautiful art for your walls! Some of these look like details from modern Renaissance paintings.

Ultimate decal company Domestic have added to their one strip collection with contributions from Parisian illustrator Florence Manlik. Described as ‘Fleeting captures from a lost Symbolist unfolding on parcels of nothingness’, these are more than just wall stickers.

A late start for today as there is much to do these days, but we are making up for it with the most wonderful ‘ Day With’ straight from a tiny neighbourhood in Madrid with illustrator Blanca Gomez. I can’t wait! Next, another set of tableware that is not what it seems…

Turner Pocock Cazalet

The things that inspire wallpaper designs never fail to amaze me – and interior design consultancy Turner Pocock Cazalet prove just that. With cricket bats and tennis rackets and ambling polar bears as just a few of the inspirations for their collection, they’re making me want to try my hand at pattern hunting. What object would you turn into wallpaper?

This project is so exciting!

This February, Sanderson a British fabrics and wallcoverings institution celebrates their 150th anniversary! The Sanderson company were the first to produce a coordinated collection of mass-produced wallpapers and fabrics in Britain. For 150 years the brand has been at the vanguard of every significant movement in European decorative arts, from Arts and Crafts and Art Deco to 1980s country-house style and the vibrant interiors of the Noughties, shaping a distinctive mode of English decoration beloved throughout the world.

To celebrate – just in time for London Fashion Week, Sanderson is taking part in a three way collaboration using their iconic fabrics. On the eve of the anniversary footwear designer Tracey Neuls opens her shop TN29 at 29 Marylebone Lane involving acclaimed contemporary artist Nina Saunders. Both designers honour Sanderson by using well-known prints; Nina will be showing large-scale sculptures characteristically morphed and melting items of furniture, upholstered in Sanderson fabrics – and Tracey a dedicated collection of shoes employing reissued vintage Sanderson textiles.

I absolutely love the re-telling of these iconic chintzy fabrics in a contemporary setting – Happy Birthday Sanderson!
