Montgomery Cirrus Fabric

Posted on | Leave a comment

F500429_swatch 
Montgomery specialises in curtain, of both the ready-made and made-to-measure varieties. Amongst their huge selection of fabrics, I spotted the Cirrus Fabric, a design inspired by 1950s textiles.

Cirrus features a leaf-like pattern and is available in a choice of five colour options which are in keeping with the 50s design; red, green/blue, gold/grey, terracotta or teal/mustard. Having picked your colour, what you do with the fabric could include having it made into curtains, roman blinds, tie-backs or cushion covers.

The fabric costs £15 per metre. Visit the Montgomery website for further information.

Pina bread bag from Zara Home

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pina
Zara Home isn't normally known for their retro-inspired designs but this Pina bread bag is a pleasant exception to their usual style.

The bag is decorated with an original print that's full of 1950s charm. The print depicts suitably foodie images, such as a fruit bowl and a pepper mill and vinegar bottle. It's executed in a simple colour scheme of greens, browns and black which adds to the vintage feel. 

The bread bag is made from a flax/linen and cotton mix and, if you like this print, it's also available on oven gloves and a tea towel. 

The bag costs £19.99.

Olive Lucky Clover cushion by Maria Hatling

Olive lucky clover cushion
This Olive Lucky Clover cushion looks like a vintage fabric but in fact it's a contemporary design, just one from the collection of designer Maria Hatling.

Maria used to work as an in-house designer for Orla Kiely and you can see the same use of great retro patterns in her work, offering different colourways across her designs – this cushion is also available in pink for example. And it's not just cushions as you can also purchase prints and tea towels featuring her designs, all well worth an investigation. 

Made from a cotton and linen mix, the cushion costs £55. 

Buy it from Gallery Bobbin

  LIBERTY

Liberty’s new season fabric collection features this rather lovely collaboration between the Liberty Design Studio and award-winning children’s illustrator Brian Wildsmith.

The collaboration draws on Liberty’s heritage, revisiting a relationship between shop and artist which dates back to the 1950’s. The design features pastel biplanes and jets and combines an original illustration from Wildsmith’s ‘The Amazing World of Words’, with Liberty menswear prints.

The fabric is 100% cotton and would lend itself to all sorts of creative projects.
It’s available both in-store and online and is priced at £19.95 per metre.

Bus Blind fabric designed by Margo Selby and People Will Always Need Plates for London Transport Museum

Posted on | Leave a comment

Bus blind
Margo Selby and People Will Always Need Plates have collaborated on two new textile designs for the London Transport Museum, including the bus blind fabric pictured.

The pattern is based around iconic bus routes and destinations, echoing the style of classic bus blinds. In a silver and black colourway, it is available on the same furniture as their moquette range. This textile isn't moquette though, instead being made of a cotton and viscose mix. 

It's not the first time the designers have worked together – you may remember their Trellick Tower cushion, a design that's echoed in their second design which is based around closing tube doors. 

Prices start at £39.99 for getting the fabric on a cushion.
