ROA natural wallpapers are from Java in Indonesia. These exquisite wallcoverings are sophisticated and creative, and are beautifully made. ROA’s weavers are skilful artisans, craftspeople with attention to detail, diligence and patience. Designs are inspired by the handmade process itself, they play with the texture and weaving process, newer designs are increasingly intricate and ambitious yet retain a natural beauty.

Strand by strand the tough rattan fibres of Pangihot are woven and knotted to create this design. Made up of several striped elements: the top band, the central column and where they intersect.

Liberty Fabrics

pixadmin — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 08:33:04 +0000

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.

Floating Palace is a wallpaper from the Botanical Atlas collection: romantic, rich and sophisticated it is printed on a foilised paper but also is available in a velvet, and in two other paper colourways. View this wallpaper collection here on Liberty Fabric’s page

What more do you want than a pavilion made of fabric with a huge bunch of flowers starring ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ in the middle. From the new Botanical Atlas fabric collection these lovely images speak for themselves. Visit Botanical Atlas fabric collection here.

Silk Tree is Liberty Fabrics’ joyful and contemporary re-interpretation of a Chinoiserie design. A canopy of trees and bamboo branches shoot upwards, elongating your room, and are decorated with birds, butterflies, Persian silk tree flowers, Chinese physalis, amaryllis, and peonies. Printed either on 100% linen or a wallpaper in several charming colour-ways.

Vertigo Weave is dynamic with good texture and a ton of energy. Pictured here is Vesuvio which is one of the ‘great reds’, and there are 2 other colours, Piccadilly, and Sahara.

Evanescent is fabulously bold, colourful and playful, yet it is sophisticated taking its lead from Futurist paintings. A printed linen it comes in two scales.

A graceful geometric that references Japanese Obi belt design.

Obi Check is a subtle textured weave.

And it comes in glorious colour-ways

Liberty Interior fabrics do a charming peachy rust and it tones so well with navys.

Indoor-Outdoor 'Persian Voyage in palm green.

'Palazzo', a curvaceous geometric jacquard.

On the top "Ottoman Spot".

Persian Voyage and Palampore Trail in Jade.

On the very pretty armchair is “Botanical Flora”. Printed on a cotton velvet with 7% modal to add a flowing hand. This design celebrates the historic tradition of botanical illustration.

"Botanical Stripe" wallpaper draws from the craft of flower pressing and is printed using a fine mesh gravure technique. Matte and metallic pigments are layered upon the paper creating a luminescence reminiscent of Victorian cyanotypes

A gentle colour palette from the “Tree of Life” collection.

from curtains to throw cushions, or as an upholstery fabric.

Striking, bold and unique, James Malone Fabrics originate in the Mediterranean. Spanish, British and Moroccan influences predominate, and are infused with inspirations from many world cultures.

'Carabosse' is printed on linen, the design is inspired by the harlequin pattern worn by dancers in Puchinella ballets.

James is a British designer who has lived in Spain for many years. Passionate about colour and texture he brings the sensibilities of both cultures to his creations.

Inspired by Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso’s costume designs for the Russian Ballets, ‘Pulcinella’ displays elegant dancers in gorgeous patterned costumes on a linen-viscose base.

‘Little Jeff’, typical of many James Malone designs, is thick, textural & generous.

A glamorous cut velvet leopard print called ‘Pardus’

'Khafra's' uneven pyramids play with the eye, and are available in 4 colours.

A soft and two-tone chenille appropriately called 'Snow'

The fabrics are experimental and creative; upholstery fabrics are thick and generous, whilst the sheers & drapes are delightfully floaty. James Malone’s bright fun textiles resonate well in South East Asia and each launch bring something new and entirely different.

Dramatic 'Rossinol' for colour, pattern and texture.

The ever-popular, over-sized herringbone is called 'Ziggy'

Eye-catching ‘Luang’ is on the chair, whilst ‘Tristan’ velvet is on the pillows.

At the southernmost point of Europe, between the bush and the Mediterranean Sea, is the headquarters of James Malone Fabrics, surrounded by bougainvillea and olive trees. Perhaps due to its location, the South is present in the philosophy as the place chosen to interact with the rest of the world.

Designs of the Time

pixadmin — Tue, 11 Aug 2020 02:48:11 +0000

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.

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.

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.

Soft tone-on-tone blue linens combine with the whitest sheets

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
