Katy Chard is a printmaker and designer whose retro influences clearly show in her work, including this Fall fabric cushion.
The beautiful colours and textures used on the cushion give it a 1950s look. Like some of the most famous textile designers from that period, Chard also is heavily influenced by the natural world – some of her other designs play with the patterns of trees, flowers and even fish.
This cushion design costs £40.

Another great reissue from Almedahls, this time the 1950s Belle Amie fabric – a 1950s design by Marianne Westman.
If the floral, white and blue pattern reminds you of something, it could be Westman's own Mon Amie tableware design designed at around the same period (and which we featured last year when they introduced it onto some new designs). A classic and pretty pattern, it's bound to add some Scandinavian style to your home.
The fabric costs £19.95 a metre.
