“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.” Margaret Atwood
Our intention is to step more lightly upon the Earth, to choose colours and materials which last way beyond a single season. Conscious design trends, and responsible colour creation, are driving a design strategy that is emotionally interconnected with our natural world.
We are experimenting with colours extracted from waste, gentle ochre from onion skins, and soft pinkish tones from buckthorn tree bark, dyed onto vintage linen sheeting. We reveal future-thinking pigments extracted from blue fungus, sea-green algae, luminous seashells and pink bacteria grown on the laboratory.
In this era of deep curiosity and experimentation, inspiration can be found in our local environment. As Spring emerges in the northern hemisphere, hedgerows bloom into life with wild flowers and blossoms. New green shoots inspire a fresh vitamin boost of brighter bliss-filled colours to revive our post-pandemic weariness.
