Winter 2020 – Lee Jofa introduces its fifth collection with esteemed interior designer Kelly Wearstler. This assortment of prints, weaves, embroideries and wallcovering is an experimentation with scale and the evolution of colour.
Wearstler drew inspiration from vintage fashion, historical references, art and design. “This collection crosses over many different genres, eras and mediums,” says Wearstler.
The painterly print DISTRICT evokes a feeling of casual decadence through an elevated sense of artistry and uniqueness of scale. With a nod to Cubism, this printed fabric features oversized geometric shapes in a rhythm of colour and form. Offered in seven colourways, it is also offered as a coordinating wallcovering. CASCADIA, an existing design from Kelly’s collection, has been re-imagined and re-scaled for a fabric. This graphic print arouses the senses with its artful emulation of an undulating mountain scape on a textural ground. Based on original hand-painted artwork, this print on a cotton/linen blend comes in four evocative multi-tonal colourways, creating unexpected beauty in its contradiction. A graphic nod to 80’s Memphis design, ARCADE features a linear pattern composed of bold striping and stacked geometric forms. ARCADE is a reversible chenille, which offers designers an all over texture with beautiful variations of colour and movement, giving this stunning textile the ability to work double duty. The design is woven using exclusive Italian cotton blend chenille yarns and it is available in five fashion-forward colourways.
Wearstler’s latest iteration of her iconic pattern, GRAFFITO, arrives with brand new colourways inspired by our natural surroundings. An abstract print whose trademark hand-painted pattern brings expressions of movement and graphic texture to a room, GRAFFITO now comes in four new fashion colourways on a fine cotton/linen ground, as well as three new coordinating wallcoverings.
Sophisticated, earthy tones are mixed with bold moments of editorial hues throughout this collection’s colour stories. The combination of these disparate, rich colours and timeless details creates tension and vibrancy within an interior.
With eight fabric designs and five wallcovering designs offered in an array of unique colourways, Kelly Wearstler V ushers her signature style towards the future and lands squarely in the present with a collection of on-trend and versatile designs. “The collection plays with dimensionality, depth of field, organic quality and earthy sensibilities,” says Wearstler. “There are so many different qualities to experiment with and create a distinctive dialogue.”
