2013 Runway colours :: Dulux + Kirrily Johnston and Camilla

Following the recent L’oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, Dulux teamed up with Australian designers Kirrily Johnston and Camilla to translate their runway collections into interior spaces. These brilliant interpretations styled by Bree Leech are so beautifully put together.

Camilla’s richly layered collection, titled “Tales from a Reading Room”, features floral prints and rich colours mixed with vibrant highlights.

In contrast Kirrily Johnston’s collection focuses on a simpler pallet and shapes, featuring rich metallics.

I really love how this collaboration worked so brilliantly and showcased both the designers and the colours of Dulux.

Which style do you like, opulent and layered, or sleek and refined?

LOVING :: Colonel lighting and furniture

Isabelle Gilles and Yann Poncelet design quirky colourful furniture and lighting under the name Colonel. The refined design and sometimes surprising use of colour in their short run products make them stand out from the crowd. The current Colonel range is inspired by the outdoors, particularly beaches and camping, and it’s a whole lot of fun.

LOVING :: Ashley G for Urban Outfitters

Ashley Goldberg aka Ashley G has designed a range of bed linen and rugs for Urban Outfitters. If only they’d ship the rugs to Aus I’d have that beauty on the top left in my apartment.

Edit: Ashley announced on Instgram this afternoon that her pillows are now available at UO. So good.

LOVING :: Naomi Paul

With a focus on traditional handcrafted techniques and sustainable design Naomi Paul‘s creations have been winning accolades and fans since launching in 2011. Naomi won ‘Young Designer 2012’ Homes & Gardens magazine and selected by Kevin McCloud of Grand Designs as one of his 10 Green Heroes of 2012.

I love the grouping of the oversized crochet pendant lights in the first image: they’re playful and simple, and at the same time sculptural and dramatic.

The aptly named macaroons are available in a range of delicious colours. How sweet is the scalloped edge?

Sustainability is key to London-based Naomi Paul‘s designs – materials include textiles sourced from industry offcuts and products are flat packed in responsible packaging. Her beautiful objects celebrate good design, traditional craft and sustainability. Perfect in my book.

INSPIRATION :: Simon C Page
