A picnic in Provençe by Materialised

Small & funky designs
A little history: Provençal fabrics are quintessentially French but originally they drew inspiration from “Les Indiennes”, Indian cotton block prints. These brightly coloured fabrics were initially imported from India in the mid 17th century. Popular with the French and British nobility soon cheaper ‘copies’ were being made in France. This created competition to the lucrative silk industry & the French court, under Louis XIV, banned the wearing of the prints until 1759, for 73 years. However these attractive & easily applied designs regained favour and today they are symbolic of Provençal culture.

What is so excellent about a small pattern

A tiny modest repeat is often overlooked by the magnificence of the large, especially nowadays. But the the small has many advantages, sometimes one could replace a textured plain. Mix and matching of wee repeat patterns is simple. More practically small patterns are very easily applied as pattern repeats are straightforward to match compared with a larger pattern. Exemplified by the Picnic in Provençe collection, the tiny pattern is often adorable.

As well this collection includes an attractive plain made up of several colours that they call ‘Bouclé’. Pictured on the stool it looks textural and the multicolours tone with other elements with ease

Liberty is our oldest collection with Arthur Liberty opening in London’s Regent Street in 1875. He traded exotic goods and textiles from the ‘Far East’ and worked with artisans and manufacturers to make his own textiles and objects d’art. By the 1890’s Liberty Art Fabrics were at the forefront of avant-garde design.

The Futur Liberty collection fascinates us, an exploration of Liberty’s extensive archive and inspired by the Futurism and Vorticism movements. The result is a collection of intense and optimistic designs. On the chaise is shadow stripe weave in jade, this is a design that looks good in many a space and the scale and texture is perfect.

Misia Paris

pixadmin — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 03:46:48 +0000

Misia Paris is glorious and charming; it glitters and shines. It is a brand intent on rediscovering the freedom, vibrancy and verve of the ‘Roaring Twenties’ in Paris. Misia taps into the mystique of those times and then gives it a thoroughly modern makeover. All Misia Paris fabrics are made to the highest standards.

For textile lovers “L’universelle” is a masterpiece. A huge geometric with ethnic sensibilities, its intricate weave is captivating. Bouclé cotton and linen yarns create a rustic, matte texture, while a tightly woven black-and-ivory fabric adds depth and optical intrigue. Delicately finished with a fringe of cut yarns, it’s perfect for curtains and statement decor.

This reminds us of an Indonesian batik pattern and here on “Clameur de Seine” the pattern is woven onto natural backgrounds using chenille threads that will add a spritely texture.

This is ‘French Can Can’ and you can imagine this silky fabric being swooshed to-and-fro on the stage. On a one hundred percent silk base, the traditional design of the acanthus leaf extends its finely shaped branches in a continuous lattice of foliage. A subtly metallic twisted yarn gives additional depth to the jacquard.

Misia-Paris fabrics ‘Beauséjour’

Exquisitely embroidered on a luxurious linen-cotton blend, Beauséjour is a true jewel in interior design. Perfect for those who love to make a statement, it brings elegance and sophistication to curtains, throws, and cushions alike.

Misia-Paris new wallpaper collection is beyond superlatives, elegant, luxurious and ‘eye-wateringly’ tasteful. In neutrals with a splash of gold the majority are textural and most have a matching textile design.
