101 Irish linen specialist launches exclusive new range Traditional Irish linen manufacturer William Clark has unveiled a unique luxury brand, Earthed. The brand marries traditional techniques with modern creativity and technology to produce a stunning range of interior fabrics. The first collection to be unveiled is The Upperlands Collection, inspired by the visual beauty of the natural world. The collection features seven designs each focusing on a different element. All the designs are available in five striking colourways with a complimentary plain linen. All prints are available on two base cloths, a 100% Irish linen and a linen union, both very durable with exceptional light fastness making them ideally suited for upholstery, curtains and also long-lasting furnishings. Richard Allan Originally established as a scarf company in 1962, Richard Allan now offers art prints of its vintage sixties and seventies scarf designs. It was the vision of the scarf designs as art that inspired Cate Allan to relaunch her father’s company, producing a collection of art prints on museum etching paper at 30” x 30″, the original scarf size. The prints are unique, striking, beautiful, vibrant - a testimony to the best of sixties and seventies design and a fitting tribute to her father’s legacy. The company’s aesthetic remains true to its roots with a contemporary air, combining fantastic design and colour, high-end quality and a range of styles to suit different venues and tastes. www.richardallanscarves.com/prints/ www.earthedbywmclark.co.uk / 028 7954 7204. 6 5 7 MKW Surfaces MKW Surfaces supplies marble, granite, quartz and quartzite among other incredibly beautiful natural and engineered stones.
