Something unabashedly pretty for your morning. Abigail Borg is a surface pattern designer from London – her range of fabrics and wallpapers seem inspired by the bold blooms in an English garden. I love their Art Nouveau graphic, hyper-lucidity. Top image is Mauve Lily fabric, followed by Mr Chrysanth.
Which, once again, reminds me of a book I’d like: Plants and Their Application to Ornament, first published in 1897 by Eugène Grasset (1841-1917). A book to wallow in.
Art Nouveau /Arts and Crafts was all about filling your interiors with organic patterns of nature; essentially bringing the garden inside. A notion that has been happily resurrected over the last decade…
About the authors: Harriet Fesq is one half of Textile & Terrain – a blog that started as a way for her and her cousin Nina James to keep track of the millions of household and horticulture web links they’d send each other in the morning. Nina is a landscape architect and works on big public projects whilst also thinking about turquoise necklaces, chocolate croissants, jazz concerts, sailing and flowers and green stuff. Harriet also thinks about flowers and green stuff when she is meant to be working: writing her PhD in textile art. Mexico, tagines, The National and British designer Erdem also distract her. Oh, and they are daughters of identical twins, sharing the gene for a love of naps.
