Foliage

I love plants. They are such an endless source of pleasure. They're never dreary or drab, but always vivacious and enlivening. Even when they've died and are all crispy and spidery, the shapes they make and the stories that they tell are endless. For a lot of interior styling, it's very fashionable to show very clean, minimalistic rooms with no plants in them. I don't trust them... a living space void of greenery.. there must be something going on...

Whether it's a real plant or an illustration of one, your house feels so much alive with foliage in it.
I love interior styling that is practical and homely, but fun and interesting. I am driven to make textiles that are engaging, that people want to grab, and smoosh, and  it just seems to pair so well with the animation and life of a beautiful plant.

I love an awful lot of Australian interiors. The playful colours, the warmth and patterns are very appealing. Looking at these a lot has I supposed influenced my tastes and because of the climate, there's always a lot of plants around. Companies like Arro Home, The Family Love Tree and Pop and Scott create the most beautiful products and particularly with the former, they are So. Much. Fun!

That doesn't mean however, that because we live somewhere cold, that plants can't evoke the same kinds of feelings as in (much) warmer climbs. India Hobson manages to capture plants in the soggiest of climbs, and makes them look so powerful and evocative, and beautiful! Her latest venture, Haarkon with Magnus Edmondson, will encourage even the biggest plant murderers to be able to have some greenery in their home, beautifully photographed prints of plants.

I guess it's about bringing the outside in - the feeling of warmer climbs. Interacting with outdoors (without actually having to go out there!)

Illustrator Caroline Dowsett is creating a series of beautiful illustrations called "Botanical Everyday" where she depicts her planty findings on a (you guessed it) daily basis.

Alongside this post is a Pinterest board, full of beautiful, leafy inspiration. With a diverse range of plant based treats from homewares to artwork, it's worth a look. Visit here.


We will soon be releasing new products. Our first big collection since our launch in November 2014, and a lot of leafy motifs are involved -(I think I've been dreaming of warmer climbs). A sneak peak of things to come can be seen here with this cushion and embroidery. Expect warm colours, pops of texture and a newly designed website.
