The Ellen Merchant Ditzy Floral straight empire shade features a hand blocked print applied using hand carved wooden blocks, a technique that introduces natural variation into the repeating floral pattern. The straight empire form maintains an even diameter drop, providing a balanced spread of light suited to table or floor lamp bases. The blue and multi-coloured palette is rendered through a layered printing process that begins with hand-drawn studio artwork.
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.
