MAXIMALISM - Prints and patterns become more daring, referencing a maximalist aesthetic with a ‘more is more’ approach.
FLORA AND FAUNA - Ever present; dense, lush tropical designs continue to flourish, wild blooms are a key floral story and monkey motifs remain prevalent, depicted in jungle landscapes whether on bold contrasting backgrounds or camouflaged within simple illustrative repeats.
JAPANESE - A new wave of Asian influence will come in anticipation for the up and coming Tokyo Olympics. Prepare for a fresh take on Japan’s rich and sophisticated decorative history. Prints will replicate traditional screen printing, hand painted motifs and dying techniques, bringing ancient Asian craft into the modern day.
GRAPHIC - Surface patterns will be represented through mid-century and Art Deco geometrics.
SUBTLETY - Subtle patterns are created via matte finishes, quilting and embossing, providing texture and tactility, particularly suiting “of the moment” curvaceous furniture frames. Printing techniques are used to create “barely there” pattern, like water ripples and reflection inspired by natural landscapes creating a serene minimalist aesthetic Adding to this concept is the use of embroidery and metallic yarn embellishments to add subtle texture and glamour.
PAST TENSE - Patterns from archival collections with rich heritage will been reworked in a modern way. Using bold contemporary scale and the latest weaving techniques, traditional pattern will be given a modern twist.
