The Ellen Merchant Ditzy Floral empire shade provides a hand-blocked textile surface with a repeating floral motif, developed from hand-drawn designs and transferred onto hand-carved wooden blocks for printing. The 20cm empire shape offers a gently flared profile, with the multi-coloured blue print distributed evenly across the fabric. The block-printing process introduces subtle tonal variation, reflecting the handmade nature of each piece.
Here at Pooky, we don't just think that Ellen Merchant is one of the great designers of the future, we think she's one of the top textile designers of today. Hell yes. Graphically she's brilliant and also a genius with colour. We are thrilled to be hooking up with her again. All these designs started in her studio with her trusty pen and paper, and then developed into hand carved wooden blocks. The whole process is long and complex, but we are truly thrilled with the results. We hope you agree.
