NEWSLETTER JUNE 2007

Welcome to the June 2007 newsletter from the team at Limited Editions

We have now been in the Studio on Level 2 of the Woolstore at 258 Thorndon Quay for just over 7 months.

The studio is working very well and our clients are enjoying the workshop atmosphere. Being in a light filled roof top space, after all those years down on ground level is refreshing and inspiring.

This newsletter introduces some of the beautiful new fabrics and wall coverings, released this season.

The new collections...

One of the most spectacular print collections this Autumn is Teatro Chino from Gaston Y Daniela, the major Spanish house famous for spectacular prints.

Designers Guild (below) have released Oriental Garden, another collection inspired by Asia.

Osborne and Little's new collection has drawn its inspiration from Portugal.

Large and simplified damask weave designs are a top trend this year along with dramatic damask wallpapers.

There are collections in particular which are quite spectacular - Cole & Son's Damask wallpaper (which is shown on the right) and Zoffany's Nureyev which is shown below left.

Nureyev is a damask design, taken from an 18th century silk damask which once hung in the famous dancer’s Paris apartment.

To achieve a 21st century look, Zoffany’s designers have enlarged and simplified the design.

This is one of the joys of textiles and wall coverings – there is such a rich history, which never fails to delight.

Finally, thank you to all of you who have now visited the Studio. Please remember that as we no longer have a retail showroom, our staff are all committed to projects, so we urge you to call ahead to make a time with the designer you wish to see. We are very flexible and we will always try to fit you in at a time which suits you.
