I Spy – Imogen Heath

Posted by deardesigner in I Spy | Interior Design - (0 Comments)

Imogen Heath is a Surface Pattern and Textile Designer based in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex and she very kindly sent me some photographs of her work this week.  She launched her textiles business just a year ago and already her work has been snapped up by The Design Museum and Heals and it’s easy to see why.

Her designs are so fresh and vibrant and her colour palette is just right for livening up a neutral decor.

My favourite is the Viaduct Blue design (pic 3) inspired by the viaduct in Brighton.

For anyone who wants to know more about Imogen there’s a really nice interview with her that was conducted last year by Katie over on the Heart Home blog.

I Spy – Camilla Meijers, Spring 2012

Posted by deardesigner in I Spy | Interior Design - (3 Comments)

I am so in awe of Camilla Meijer’s intricate and detailed illustrations.

Camilla was born in Sweden but is now based in London where she set up her brand in 2006.  I can remember being drawn to her amazingly colourful wallpaper designs at 100% Design in 2010 and I’ve been following her closely ever since.

Her recent designs are less colourful but no less lush.  Inspired by nature as always, they have a very strong contemporary feel.  Appropriately fresh for summer, I would love these napkins for a celebratory lunch set up in the garden perhaps.

Can’t you just see why Camilla won the “New Designers One Year On Award” in 2007, was shortlisted for the British Design Awards, Elle Decoration in 2010 and  was one of 10 Women Designers to Watch in 2011 on Apartment Therapy USA?

I Spy – Zeena Shah

Posted by deardesigner in I Spy | Interior Design - (3 Comments)

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Zeena on her stand at Home London. Her dazzling smile was hard to resist and so were her designs.

 She graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2007 and has since worked in both the fashion and interiors textile industry and continues to work as a freelance textile designer.  She also runs a programme of craft workshops which she hopes will inspire more people to get stitching.

All of her products are hand crafted in the UK and each piece is individually silk screen printed making it truly unique.  Her fabrics are either locally sourced or vintage.  She supports small UK businesses.

The designs themselves are inspired by her love of paper cutting, printing, drawing, sewing and making.  Birds and hearts feature prominently.

Well, as you can see, she has stolen my heart.

Probably my favourite exhibition of all during The London Design Festival.  So many great new products and some old favourites too.  I’ll be there over the weekend and one of the stands I’ll be visiting is Miss Print who will be launching their new fabric and wallpaper designs.

Aren’t they fabulous?
