Both ageless and sophisticated, we have drawn on Victorian design to create elegant yet comfortingly familiar interiors which will stand the test of time. We aim for the consumer to feel an attachment to the products and look to cherish and appreciate them as they would an artefact or piece of heirloom art.
Though traditional design is rooted in the past, our focus is to create a harmonious blend of styles incorporating natural images and a complementary colour palette which is timeless and would carry forward into the future.

Timeless Repeats and Half Drops
My work was focused on creating timeless repeats and half drops derived from my visual research inspired by the botanical garden gates. I replicated these designs by painting them softly and then scanning them into CAD to create half drops.
Botanical Glasshouse
The Botanical Glasshouse is a sanctuary of nature, where the beauty of plant life is celebrated through innovative design and architecture. This space is dedicated to showcasing a diverse array of flora in a controlled environment that mimics their natural habitats.
Design Inspiration
The architectural elements of the glasshouse draw inspiration from the intricate patterns found in nature, emphasizing transparency and light. The use of glass allows for a seamless connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape, creating an immersive experience for visitors.
The design of the botanical glasshouse encourages exploration and interaction. Pathways wind through the displays, inviting guests to engage with the plants and learn about their ecosystems. Workshops and guided tours are also available, enhancing the educational aspect of the experience.

On the right are my final textile designs, which were presented as part of a group collection to Ashley Wilde. Our team received a special mention for the way our colours, textures, and patterns seamlessly worked together, forming a cohesive and considered interior concept. This recognition reflects our ability to collaborate effectively while still showcasing strong individual design voices.
