Inspiring Fabric/Finishes II

Mulberry - Flying Ducks

This linen print is a classic from British fabric house Mulberry. It's style is distinctly Art Nouveau, but it is given an English country gentleman's twist.


Promotional Shot

The promotional shot is fantastically theatrical and couldn't be more apt. It is set in front of the Kew Gardens conservatory. The chesterfield sofa does the impressive scale of the pattern justice and is so appropriately English.


Detail

The colours are earthy and murky, yet the print is crisp. This is aided by the definition of the black outlines. It reminds me of vintage Tin Tin comics.


Pattern Repeat

A detail I like is the Japanese pagoda, inspired by the original in Kew Gardens, noticeable here in the pic of the pattern repeat.
