The Ellen Merchant Ditzy Floral 25cm empire shade features a hand-blocked print produced using hand-carved wooden blocks, with the floral pattern originating from hand-drawn studio designs. The wider 25cm empire silhouette allows the repeating ditzy floral motif to display across a broader surface area, with the multi-coloured blue palette providing graphic contrast. The block-printing technique results in a fabric with natural tonal variation and a handcrafted finish.
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.
