Forget the rain and snow, and feast your eyes on these exotic images from Harlequin’s vibrant new collection, Jardin Bohème.
Comprising printed fabrics, embroideries and a mix of the two, as well as weaves and wallpapers, Jardin Bohème harnesses a riot of pattern, colour and printing techniques.
The designs were all originally drawn by the Harlequin Studio’s Becky Brown, who employed time-old techniques such as stamp-making, potato-prints and lino-cuts to achieve the desired boho effect.
Becky says: “I wanted to capture the free-spirited, folkloric, ageless elements and going back to basics, such as mark-making and painting freely with strong brushstrokes, enabled me to create these relaxed, hand-drawn motifs.
“I was particularly passionate about using surface-printing for many of the wallpapers too: this gives depth of colour, detail and texture as well as the deliciously hand-painted, not-quite-dry appearance which embodies the collection.”
I’m looking forward to visiting the new Harlequin and Scion showroom at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour when I’m not snowed under with features. Thanks for the invitation.
