Interiors has fallen in love with lace. Taking
its cue from the catwalk, James Hare’s new

femininity and romanticism. Intricately
detailed geometric lace panels are
embroidered onto a solid back to present
a delicately embellished decorative fabric.
As part of the coordinating new Prism Silks
collection, Cosmos is available in three
subtle shades; Frost, Plover and Slate.

ROMO’S collaboration with British
artist, Jessica Zoob, recreates six of
her paintings to form a collection
of digitally printed fabrics. Black
Edition infuses a rich elegance taking
into context Jessica’s imaginative
use of line, texture and colour in her
emotionally charged, contemporary
impressionist paintings. They’re
brought to life on pure linen, soft
cotton velvet and a wide-width,
lightweight linen, capturing the
individual brushstrokes and layers of
paint that add the depth and intrigue
visible in Jessica’s paintings.

‘A Stiller Life’ is Rubelli’s new fabric
collection with a notable oriental influence.
Inspired by the artistic concept of the ‘still
life’ the Donnafugata fabric showcases an
elegant arrangement of foliage, flowers,
rocaille elements and leaves delicately
traced with viscose thread upon a handwoven silk ground. The pattern of Candalu
reproduces a 19th century pointed paper
originally designed for a handwoven velvet
representing the traditional elements of a
chinoiserie with a contemporary twist.
