Admiring the surface designs of Swedish-based designer, Lotta Olin, who designs patterns for textiles, laminates and wallpapers which can be found in many Swedish homes. She writes :

Lars Contzen
Been mulling over the color harmonies of German designer, Lars Contzen, on his website, Colour Courage, hoping to apply those sensibilities to my home. Love the bold and vibrant colors of his surface designs, of which he says:
“We all know the small patterns of previous decades, which were mostly boring because they had a permanent repeat inside the composition. My ideas was to create something which is more related to art than to patterns.”
“Color is very important, but no color such as white of black is equally important. Every color or ‘non-color’ activates a special emotional reaction.”

Helen Mussellwhite
It has turned out to be cut paper week here on my blog as I feature another UK artist, Helen Musselwhite. She creates amazing hand cut paper sculptures and collages many of which can be seen on her website. She writes this about her work:
“Each piece combines the hand cutting, folding and scoring of a wide range of papers and card that are further worked on to create patterned and textured surfaces. They are then used to build scenes in box frames which are often complex and consist of many layers. This process means that each item of work is truly individual with no two pieces the same.Influenced by the natural world each piece is manipulated to become an intriguing place, a glimpse into another world of fiction and fairytale.”

Cayce Zavaglia
Mesmerized by these incredible hand embroidered portraits created by artist, Cayce Zavaglia. Much of her portraits are a combination of embroidery, crewel wool and acrylic on linen. Of her work she writes:
“I still consider myself a painter and find it difficult not to refer to these embroidered portraits as “paintings”. Although the medium employed is crewel embroidery wool, the technique borrows more from the worlds of drawing and painting.”

Yves Andrieux & Vincent Jalbert
First heard about this design house from one of my favorite UK daily read, Designers’ Block. Liked what I saw and I agree with blog author, Di Overton, that you really should take a look as well.
French designers, Yves Andrieux and Vincent Jalbert, collect vintage fabrics such as tents, military textile, parachutes, graphic fabrics of the 50s/60s and transforms them beautifully into fashion and home décor pieces. There is a lot there to like so do take a peek.
