Designs of the Time, by Yvan Puylaert in Belgium, is the epitome in relaxed sophistication. Depth of colour and texture define a collection that is imbued with a spirit of adventure. Inspired by indigenous communities from around the world, designs are exotic yet contemporary.
Mendocino
Take a journey to California’s Lost Coast. Designs of the Time’s Mendocino collection echoes its rustic landscapes and indigenous heritage, the collection evokes a sense of boundless nostalgia. Idyllic patterns, artisanal weaves, and rich hues bring this sentiment to life, weaving a timeless tapestry of nature and craft. To see all the fabrics in this collection click here.
The Mendocino colour palette is tantalising and rich, forest greens, autumnal leaves, dirty mustards softened with sea blues and good greys. The problem will be choosing.
Designs of the Time create impeccable day curtain fabrics. ‘Pomo’ on the left is a very textured extra wide linen with a natural look created using threads of varying thicknesses. On the right ‘Chigaga’ is a sun resistant indoor outdoor fabric made of polyolefin that is tough and more opaque.You can line either to create a full night curtain. Both are extra-wide. See more of our curtain fabrics here.
‘Saba’ means sun, and here the motif features a palm leaf entwined with the flaming rays of the sun. A deep textured ton-sur-ton design it comes in lush earth tones.
Tactile ‘Molera’ on the left is a thick chenille named after a beach on the Big Sur in California. To your right ‘Lobos’ is a tapestry jacquard that takes you to the leafy woods and comes in four incredible colours.
This is a lovely video, the colours are sublime, and even the model’s clothing and the horse’s blankets are from the Mendocino collection.
Evocative of rural and rugged landscapes and organic surfaces, Designs of the Time’s Wilder collection is indeed a wild ride of twisted textural yarns & dirty earthy colours.
Wilder Collection: Awaken the curious wanderer within you
The colour palettes take a walk on the wilder side. Ages old, from times past there are oches, burnt siennas, raw umbers, soft greens and stunning indigos. These are complemented with pinkish clay tones and chalky off-whites.
Hemp is a fascinating plant, the toughest of natural fibres, in the past it was used for ship’s ropes. Hemp is the most environmentally friendly of all fibres available. Designs of the Time’s hemps are finely woven, here Chaco is such a beautiful white it almost seems to glow.
This is what I really love, so we make no concessions. We very deliberately choose top quality materials that we like ourselves and from these we try to assemble a fascinating, personal and unique collection. This is not just my way of working, it’s my way of living.
On the seat pads is a textural linen with a baked-on chalk finish. Designs of the Time believe that fibres such as linen and chalk help one to connect with the natural world.
Linen is a tough plant and does not require insecticides. It dyes beautifully, does not collect dust and is cool, fresh and comfortable. Truly it is a miracle fabric.
Designs of the Time embrace imperfection, this family owned business adores a textured and untreated aesthetic. They have a deep love for craftsmanship and authenticity.
These textiles may appear casual yet a second glance proves that they are fabrics born from sophisticated and meticulous design practices. The result is confident, unique and very easy-to-use and live with designs. Yvan Puylaert and his team are steadfast in their pursuit of quality.
Many of these linens have exceptional rub counts. Linens will last for years, contain no toxins and are grown and manufactured to high environmental standards. Without being cliched it is time that we consider the environment in our interior choices and there are plenty of options.
Natural fibres such as linen, jute, hemp and wool, including goat’s wool, prevail creating textural structures.
An obsession with what can be done with natural fibres results in the perfect relaxed luxury. Visit designsofthetime.be
