Fabrics
Designed at our studio in East Sussex and printed in Kent. We chose dying methods that use less water during the process something we felt compelled to push towards.
Cotton can help those that require hypoallergenic properties, can reduce allergic reactions. It natural fibres are pleasant to the touch and allows air flow helping the skin to breathe.
What makes tick…
After graduating with a first class art and design degree I want to create and evoke joy and energy within domesticated settings by creating surface patterns leaning into the vivid, bold and interesting using both traditional and modern craft techniques. Design doesn’t just sit in a room, it actively shifts the mood of the environment and those within it. I believe where we live should not just function - it should inspire us.

Exhibition installation ‘GREED’ Arriving June 2024
Greed talks of the selfish desire for wealth and power and the mercenary philosophy that allows greed to overtake principles, changing ways of life, language, religions and indigenous diets forever overriding the desire to appreciate and fairly fabricate or import what Britain admires. Emma-Jayne examines 18th Century European adoration of chinoiserie versus the 19th Century colonisation of Africa by Europe and the British Empire
