Dash and Miller- Week Two..

Reflecting on the brief composed by weave and design company Dash and Miller, I chose Interior Designers 'Harlequin' as my main source of inspiration to guide me through this next project; for my colour palette and for my weaving design work too. The range that has particularly inspired me is called ‘Amazilia’  and consists of velvet fabrics for both soft and hard furnishings. The colour palette that I’ve selected from their range strongly reflects the colours of a peacocks feather, something I’ve never selected before. As my samples are on a smaller scale this time, the concept for this brief will be for boarders for any interior based items e.g. curtains, cushions, throws etc, in a similar way to Nina Campbell’s wide woven boarders. Her ideas of edging, boarders and trimmings really inspired me and has taken me in a different direction with my work; not only weaving flat structures, but the idea of roaching them together as well as placing them together to really mix and match the designs. Being playful with these could be the key to success.
