Here we share favourite pieces from our current stock and ideas for how to use them.
Verdure tapestries bring the outside in. 17th and 18th century pieces are finely woven in lush foliate designs and although our homes may not as be as drafty as our predecessors’, large wall hung textiles continue to aid acoustics and can easily be rolled up and taken with you. We love mid century needlepoint tapestries made in the same spirit.
We enjoy the textiles designed by French artist Jean Lurçat made across various ateliers in the 1950s and 60s. Blending various artistic isms; Surrealism, Cubism, Classicism we love the mythical creatures and forms often featured. These bold and colourful mid century pieces bring an abstract moment.
Our studio loves incorporating textiles into our projects in many different ways. Textiles offer brilliant value as wall mounted artwork and are simple to hang.
In particular we love using them as headboards. Headboards bring structure to a bed and offer support for cushions — one of our favourite rooms at The George in Rye is a dreamy spot overlooking roof tops to the church.
