11. mori kei

mori kei, meaning forest sty;e, is a Japanese fashion subculture inspired by the calm, natural beauty of the forest and countryside. known for its earthy tones, layering, and vintage inspired aesthetics, mori kei captures a peaceful, whimsical lifestyle centered on a connection with nature. here's a break down on mori kei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

origins and development

influence of nature: mori kei was born from a desire to embody a tranquil, forest like atmosphere. it emphasized living slowly, appreciating nature, and creating an aesthetic that feels like stepping into a fairytale

mori girl: mori keis popularity grew in the late 2000s through a Japanese social media community called mixing, where users shared photos of their mori inspired looks, the style was popularized by designers and mori kei icon choco yamada, who outlined the mori girl rules on mixing, helping solidify its distinct, dreamy aesthetic.

philosophy: mori kei is not only a style but a lifestyle rooted in minimalism, nostalgia, and simplicity. it often encompasses interests like photography, nature walks, drinking tea, and home made crafts!!1

key motifs

earth tones and natural colors: mori keis color palette includes soft, earthy hues like beige, cream, brown, olive, and moss green. muted pastels and off-whites are also used to create a delicate and harmonious feel, imitating the forest.

loose, layered silhouettes: the clothing in mori kei is loose fitting and layered to create a cozy, lived in look. layers of dresses, cardigans, oversized sweaters, shawls, and skirts are worn over each other to give an impression of softness and comfort.

vintage and handmade accessories: mori kei incorporates vintage inspired clothing, often resembles garments from simpler times. dresses with lace, floral prints, Peter pan collars, and earthy textures like wool, linen, and cotton are popular. items are sometimes handmade or thrifted to add a personal, nostalgic feel.

natural accessories: accessories in mori kei are inspired by nature--- think floral pins, straw hats, scarves, and woven bags. jewelry is kept simple and often handmade, featuring materials like wood, dried flowers, and stones

natural makeup and hair: makeup is usually kept minimal and natural, focusing on soft, rosy cheeks, and nude lips to give a gentle, healthy glow. hair is typically styled in loose waves, braids, or buns, and natural or warm hair colors like brown and dark blonde are common to match the earthy vibes or the outfit.

music

mori kei is often associated with peaceful and fold inspired music that eachoes the serene, introspective spirit of the forest. genres like acoustic, folk, and indie are popular, as are artists like iron & wine, fleet foxes, and Japanese indie artists such as ichiko aoba. instrumental and ambient music, including soft piano or nature sounds, are also fitting for mori kei enthusiasts who enjoy quiet moments of reflection. here are 10 artists I recommend

cocoon

iron & wine

fleet foxes

sufjan stevens

kina grannis

lisa mitchell

angus & Julia stone

first aid kit

soley

aoi teshima

movies

studio ghibli: films like my neighbor totoro, nausicaa of the valley of the wind. an princess mononoke, reflect the mori kei values of nature and simplicity. these films emphasize a harmonious connection with nature, which resonates with the mori kei aesthetics

period and fairy tale films: movies like the secret garden, and little women, feature vintage, countryside settings and styles that aligns with the look and feel of mori kei. the film Anne of green gables also embodies the quiet, pastoral lifestyle that mori kei represents. here are more movies I suggest

my neighbor totoro (1988)

only yesterday (1991)

the secret world of arrietty (2010)

wolf children (2012)

when marine was there (2014)

the tale of the princess kaguya (2013)

the fox and the child (2007)

the whisper of the heart (1995)

song of the sea (2014)

the village (2004)

books and other media

classic and nature inspired literature: books that emphasize the beauty of nature, simplicity =, and introspection are popular within mori kei. titles like Anne of green gables, the secret garden, and works by Jane Austen offer vintage inspired worlds that match mori kei aesthetic.

photography and nature journals: mori kei enthusiasts often enjoy photography that nature natures quiet moments -- forest trails, close ups of flora, and cozy indoor settings with vintage decor nature journals re also popular, where one con press flowers, write poetry, and record observations about nature.

social media: platforms like Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest have vibrant mori kei communities, where enthusiasts share their looks, document forest outings, and connect over shared interests in slow living and natural aesthetics

inspo

overall, mori kei is a fashion style and lifestyle that embodies peace, simplicity, and a connection to nature. with its soft, earthy palette, loose layering, and vintage inspired clothing, mori kei celebrates the beauty of the natural world and a quiet, introspective way of life. it offers an escape from the fast pace of modern life, creating a cozy, fairytale like world filled with warmth, comfort, and a deep respect for nature.

Elena Dawson: The Art of Artisanal Fashion

Today's blog post marks a special moment for me. Not only because it's my first on Shifting Patterns, but also because I deeply admire and enjoy the work of this designer. So much so that my wife and I even got married in her garments. Today, I want to introduce you to Elena Dawson.

Elena Dawson, a London-born fashion designer for menswear and womenswear, keeps much of her personal life under wraps.There's no existing website anymore, and her former blog is no longer accessible. Only a Instagram account with a couple of posts and a contact email serves as a point of contact. It all somewhat reminds of the enigmatic Paul Harnden, doesn't it? But we'll get to that later. She studied Art and Fashion Design at the University of Brighton and worked as a seamstress after completing her degree. At that time, she said, "I draw on the knowledge I learned at the tailors still now in the way I make clothing."

In 2000, she co-founded the clothing line "Paul Harnden Clothiers" with her ex-partner Paul Harnden. She was an integral part of the design, concept, and business until 2009 with Paul Harnden, who was primarily known under the name "Paul Harnden Shoemakers" until then, when she decided to establish her own clothing and shoe label in East Sussex. Her studio is located there as well. Despite Dawson's departure, Paul Harnden's ready-to-wear collections continue to this day. Since 2009, the brand has naturally grown, but Dawson still produces her clothes and shoes herself, supported by a small team. Everything is produced in-house in multiple studio spaces, but all is handmade.

The aesthetic of Dawson's work at Paul Harnden and her own brand has definitely evolved over the years. Paul Harnden, who is now known not only for his shoes but also for his blazers/jackets, coats, trousers, and shirts, has a rather clean cut and neatly sewn edges. On the other hand, Elena Dawson has a rather rough look and is known for her unfinished seams with dangling fabric scraps. It's sometimes hard to describe, but she has a very romantic, poetic, Victorian look that partly reminds me of Tim Burton movies.

When I put on one of her beloved blazers, I often feel like a part of Bertolt Brecht's Threepenny Opera, almost like a wardrobe from the 19th century. I own 2 blazers (linen and wool), 1 linen shirt, 2 pants (linen and cotton), and silk accessories from Dawson. My wife has a mix of a coat and dress. All her clothes are labelled with the classic "Elena Dawson - Made In England" label and the washing/material information written in her really unreadable handwriting with a Sharpie.

The coats and blazers (mostly) feature beige/white cotton lining, and the classic look, often seen online, is achieved by rolling the sleeves backward, exposing the lining through the open seams. She works with a dress form, sculpturing everything, and only uses natural materials. Her favorites are English wool, Indian cotton, Irish linen, and Chinese silk. She describes her work as follows: "When you work on alterations you are really tearing the guts out of the garment, performing a sort of autopsy—you really get to see a garment at its most vulnerable point. Observing this state of semi-deconstruction in the making of a garment or shoe is what I like to retain in my finished work."

You'll rarely get the chance to buy her pieces online, as there are hardly any retailers offering her items online. She mentioned: "We don't do much press or social media work and we don't sell online at all. I'm not against that. It's just not the brand's main job." Elena Dawson limits the maximum order quantity and carefully chooses her retailers. She prefers to keep the brand small, and even on classic online platforms like Grailed, Vestiaire Collective, or eBay, you won't find many of her items used.

I highly recommend visiting a retailer near you for the experience alone and trying on the clothes in-store. In my case, it's Harvey's in Berlin. However, the most well-known point of sale is probably Dover Street Market in London, with whom she has a strong relationship, as Dover Street Market has actively supported her brand from the beginning, granting her a significant presence there. In Tokyo, I was also able to find her pieces at DSM and at the Comme des Garcons Pocket Store.

The result is garments full of personality that evolve over time alongside one's own personality, incomparable to any other looks consumed and worn nowadays. Each piece, crafted by her hands, is unique, and I'll tell you, the first time I wore an Elena Dawson blazer at Harvey's in Berlin, it resonated with me. The look, the weight, the fit… it felt like a second skin, and over the course of 2 years, seeing how it aged with me, it became more like an extension of myself each day.

Here's to Elena — may your artistic journey continue to inspire and captivate for years to come!

Ted Tinkler, Painting and Printmaking

Winner GSA Sustainability Degree Show Prize Summer 2023

"they are containers of fluidity"

Ted Tinkler (they/them)

My practice centres around handcrafts – playing with ideas of intimacy, liveliness, multiplicity, and trans- ness. I work with the animacy and performativity of crafted objects. They are my co-collaborators. Access and care are at the heart of my practice. I move through making by prioritising intimacy, space, and vulnerability over a productionist, scarcity-based mindset. My work tends to a slowtime.

Deep in the details of hand crafts.

Of spinning, knitting, quilt-making, and wood-working.

This installation is made of many hands.

These objects are full of liveliness and animacy.

Of tales and futures. Of deep roots covered in soil. Of naming as personhood.

Of intimacy lying at the boundaries. As sites of radical, speculative imagination. To cross these boundaries. Back and forth.

Multimedia installation of hand-crafted craft tools for hand-crafts. – (Suspended hap frame, with hand-lathed pulley system [handmade with walnut, bocote, and oak]. 4 plate photolithographs. White linen quilt top with embedded hand-knitted Shetland lace samples – on hand-lathed oak. Standing quilt frame for hand-quilting [handmade with oak, iroko, and cherry]. TED quilt [in progress] made with coreopsis, buddleia, indigo, woad, dock leaves, found linen and cotton tablecloths and handkerchiefs, and a woollen blanket. Naturally dyed, in community, bird/tree of life quilt block. Scrap chair of gender-queer joy made in collaboration with Jules Dunn [oak, iroko, and pine] with scrap seat-top quilt. Hand-lathed, pine, niddy noddy wound with white, hand-spun wool. Spinning wheel from unknown maker, in traditional design of Scottish flax spinning wheels. Paper, books, zines, sewing pins, cork, wool, coreopsis. Quilt top of a lace pattern [naturally dyed].)

On the 4th floor, in the furthest corner at the right of the room, the installation called “they are containers of fluidity” lies. The space sits in a spiral shape with false walls creating hidden corners that lie out of sight when you first enter the space. Most of the year the space functions as a working studio for students, so there is paint scattered across the dark wooden floors. With squares of white paint, and a few floorboards a bit worse for wear.

For “they are containers of fluidity” there is a new lick of paint, the floors are freshly cleaned, and new objects fill the space. The wall to your left is painted an olive-green-esque colour. It is bare and marks the beginning of this imagined interior. The wall to your front and right are painted a browny-grey with strong hints of green. The wall to your right is full. Bursting at the seams. The first half is busier and is set up in the structure of a workshop-esque wall.

From right to left there is: A long and thin patchwork fabric piece in naturally dyed hues of purples and yellows; A wooden spinning wheel on the ground, found by the artist, and based upon traditional designs of Scottish flax spinning wheels; A small print of the artist spinning white wool at the wheel; Above this hangs a knitted lace handkerchief that almost blends ethereally into the wall; Five shelves scattered with books, flowers, small folded naturally dyed quilts, lace knitting, hand-spun wool skeins, scraps of fabric in jars, and hand-made zines; On the floor below stands a small stool with two zines and a book lying upon it, alongside a slightly ragged sewing box.

There is a small gap before a ‘niddy noddy’ and two small lithograph prints are hung. The ‘niddy noddy’ is a spinning tool for taking the wool off the wheel just after spinning. It is made of three pieces of hand-lathed pine wood, joined in two perpendicular T-joints. White hand-spun wool is looped around it in a figure-of-eight, with the remaining ball pinned to the wall beside the object itself.

 

The wall directly in front of the entrance to this installation is the largest, at around 4m in length. This is not a false wall, but the wall of the room itself so stretches up to the ceiling. The paint line stops at the same height as the false walls, around 2.4m, and above that is the traditional cool white. In the right-hand corner sits a wooden chair. It is made of a variety of woods, carefully pieced together and oiled. It sits fairly low to the ground and has a wide, deep seat. The back is made in a lattice formation, and on the support beams below the seat a quilt is draped. The quilt is a scrap block that uses leftovers from all the other naturally dyed objects within the installation. The three layers have been sewn together and bound, and it now lies folded, almost touching the floor.

A quilting frame stands to the left of the chair, not quite parallel to the wall. It juts out towards you as you first enter the space, at a gentle angle. It is made of oak, cherry, and iroko wood. The sturdy and delicate wooden structure has been sanded, oiled, and waxed so it is smooth and sumptuous to the touch. It has two legs with decoratively detailed feet. On one end it has two wooden cogs which help turn the beams and the quilt. A quilting frame is somewhat like a hollow table, with moving parts, to allow a quilt to be stretched across its limbs.

Upon this frame a naturally dyed quilt is stretched. You cannot see the full quilt as the top and bottom edges are rolled up on oak and cherry beams. Colours of reds, browns, pinks, yellows, white, and hints of blues dominate. The hand-quilting is partially completed with indigo-blue and coreopsis-yellow thread. These bind the three layers together – linen and cotton, wool, and linen again. The design of the quilt top contains the ‘bear claw’ quilt block, a block spelling out ‘TED’, and larger swathes of white linen. There are patches of embroidery throughout, overdyed, cut up, and sewn into the pattern. The quilt frame is tilted slightly towards you, and away from the wall.

Behind the quilt frame, another quilt is hung on the wall. This one is finished. It manipulates a traditional ‘pine tree’ or ‘tree of life’ quilt block into a ‘bird/tree of life’ quilt. Again, the fabric is naturally dyed in community – with yellows, purples, pinks, and white predominantly making up the palette. This quilt is made of lots of carefully sewn triangles and bound at the edges with yellow-buddleia linen.

As you step further into the space, more is revealed. Notably a large, bright window and two painted-white, wooden beams across the space, well-above head-height. The wall around the window remains white and has a few simple objects attached to it. One of the beams intersects the window and is smoothly joined to the wall on the left of the window. Two oak cleat hooks with thin orange rope wrapped in figures-of-eight’s around them, are also affixed on this wall.

A hand-lathed circular oak pole, with a few delicate details, is hung in front of the window. It is attached with two wooden pegs, like found on the spinning wheel on the opposite side of the space. From this wooden pole hangs a white quilt top. It is made of parts of a linen tablecloth and has hand-knitted Shetland lace sewn amongst them. The top is folded over the wood and pinned with simple white sewing pins to keep the fabric in place. When the late afternoon and early evening sun shines, a strong light comes through the window. The window frames cast shadows across the two larger walls, the floor, and the lace inserts cast more delicate shadows too. If a hand is held up to the piece, a delicate pattern of holes will be shadowed upon the flesh.

Obscured from the entrance but now fully revealed: a L-shaped wall to the left, painted olive green, and a hanging wooden object. The wooden object is a hap frame. Four sticks in a rectangle, with drilled holes at regular intervals down their lengths. It is made of deep coloured woods, iroko and bocote, and has dark wooden knobs made from walnut at the four corners. A hap frame is a traditional Shetland tool for stretching (or blocking) knitted lace. This activity is completed at the very end of the process, to fully reveal the knitted holes and show-up the lace design.

This hap frame hangs on thin, orange rope from a hand-made, hand-lathed, oak pulley system. It is like a pulley you might find on boat rigging, or a Glaswegian, tenemental washing airer. A piece of knitted lace is stretched in the middle of the hap frame. It has been hand spun on the spinning wheel in the opposite corner. The wool comes from Shetland and is undyed and brilliant white. Full of sheepy texture, and smell. The lace is made up of a repeating ‘fir cone’ lace pattern and diamond motif. It is rectangular, with straight (as straight as knitting is) long edges, and scalloped short edges. The lace has been sewn into the frame with thin, white thread to join the knit to the holes in the wood.

Behind the frame is hung a lithography print of a 35mm film photograph. This makes up the performative gesture of the work titled “pegging down their lace”. The lithography print is made of four coloured layers (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) to create a full colour image. It retains the quality of the original film photograph. The white paper is pinned at the four corners with sewing pins into cork behind. The image itself is set amongst the mossy, loch edge in the Kilpatrick hills, just outside Glasgow. The blue ripples of loch Humphrey are just visible on the top edge of the image. Two young, white hands touch the knitting and steel knitting needles – pinning it out on the grass and moss. Small moss sporophytes peek through some holes in the lace. There is a gentle light settled across the photo and small shadows of the knitting needles are cast on the hand closest to the foreground.

On the smallest wall, to the left of this print, is another lithograph. This one is far, far smaller in comparison and depicts the whole lace piece lying amongst some grassy tussocks. The white of the lace piece glows and floats. Just beside this is another oak cleat hook with a figure-of-eight of rope. The final hook is near the ground on the edge of this wall. Following these in sequence takes you back around to the central space of the interior, to face again the quilting frame.

Lines Form Surfaces – Work by Mentsen 2-12 November 2023 At Momosan Shop, 79A Wilton Way, London E8 1BG

When working with physical materials, one often finds themselves with surplus odds and ends. Consequently, makers end up with a constant stream of ‘other’ projects, creative play born from these leftovers. Timber, once part of a unique tree, possesses distinctive features such as knots, colouring or cracks, rendering them unsuitable for certain applications. However, this presents opportunities for something different. While some designs may originate on a blank sheet of paper, these ‘other’ projects begin with an assessment of what's on hand, a dialogue between makers and materials, asking, “What can I do with this?”

Mentsen is Yasuyuki Sakurai and Risa Sano, two Japanese designers and makers. At Momosan Shop, the duo presents their work using wood, a mix of designed objects and these ‘other’ projects. Tied together loosely by the concept of lines and surfaces — also the namesake of their studio in Japanese — Sakurai and Sano explore the understated beauty that lies within materials and the interplay between two and three dimensions.

Mass dining chair is Mentsen’s latest design, featuring a slender oak frame and linen webbing seat and back. The chair is made to order and the lounge version is also available.

 —

Either is a reversible tray in different sizes and wood (ash, cherry, oak and plane), reflecting the leftovers from other making projects. The format of the tray gives a chance to appreciate the beauty of the wood figure.

 —

Pepper mill, butter knife and salad servers are hand curved from smaller offcuts and finished with oil. 

 —

Also on display are Sano’s framed collages from her Cut Shapes series (2015 – 2020). Woodblock prints, made using studio offcuts, are cut to shape and re-assembled. Each frame is handmade in their studio.

Kip&Co with Bábbarra Women’s Centre, Kip&Co x Bábbarra

Kip&Co and the Bábbarra Women’s Centre joined forces to create this spectacular range of textiles and homewares, developed over two years. The collection features eight unique artworks from seven Bábbarra Women’s Centre artists – Deborah Wurrkidj, Elizabeth Wullunmingu, Helen Lanyinwanga (deceased), Janet Marawarr, Jennifer Wurrkidj, Margot Gurawiliwili, and Raylene Bonson. Every element, from the artwork selection, to product range, colours and labels, has been led by the women at Bábbarra. 

Profits from sales of the collection will be divided equally between Bábbarra and Kip&Co, and copyright specialists the Copyright Agency were engaged from the very beginning of the project to ensure best practice for licensing and ethical processes were upheld throughout its execution.

The Bábbarra Women’s Centre is one of the most important community spaces in Maningrida, a remote Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land at the tip of the Northern Territory.

Gorman and Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency, Mangkaja x Gorman

Iconic fashion label Gorman worked with Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency in Fitzroy Crossing to produce a collaboration with five senior Aboriginal artists: Ngarralja Tommy May, Sonya Kurarra, Daisy Japulija, Nada Rawlins and Lisa Uhl. The collection was photographed in Fitzroy Crossing, and the collection was modelled by local women. 

The two-year development process around this 25-piece collection was supported by the Copyright Agency as a national benchmark in fashion licensing rights, making the adaptation of the Mangkaja artists’ works on Gorman silhouettes a landmark achievement. Funds from the sale of the collection were donated to Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency to support youth programs within the art centre.

  Ellen McKenna, From Art to Fashion

The debut large-scale, solo exhibition of artist Ellen McKenna showcases the complex process of developing a garment of clothing through art. Titled ‘From Art to Fashion’, the exhibition takes the form of a step-by-step visual journey, beginning with painted canvas artworks, then patterned fabric displays, and sewn garments. The show’s objective is to highlight clothing garments as items of worth – an alternative to the seasonal turn-arounds of the disposable fashion model.

Magpie Goose, Magpie Goose x Ikuntji Artists

Magpie Goose is a platform for Aboriginal artists to share stories and generate income through the creation of wearable art. The objective of the Ikuntji Artists collaboration (a member-based, not for profit, Aboriginal art centre led by a board of seven local Indigenous directors) in particular was to showcase the stories of female artists from the Western Desert. 

This capsule clothing collection features eight unique designs originally created by five senior female artists from the Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff) community, located 230 kilometres west of Alice Springs. These artworks designs were then set up for screen printing by Magpie Goose, and eventually crafted into clothing.

As a non-Aboriginal owned business, Magpie Goose fosters the celebration of Aboriginal culture, people and stories through the medium of fashion, and helps to create meaningful opportunities for financial gain for their First Nations collaborators.

Castle, Little Garden Bedlinen

The Little Garden range combines hand painted aspects of Castle’s art practice with the commercial production of bedlinen. The collection began as a small painted artwork of a garden, created on paper using pencil, crayon, oils, gouache, acrylic, texta and pastel. Ordinarily this artwork would be reduced down to seven or eight colours before being printed onto products, but for the first time in Castle’s history, this design was digitally printed to capture every single colour and brushstroke of the original artwork. The Little Garden range includes quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases, and a bedspread.

Baina, Collection .01

Melbourne-based label Baina was founded by Anna Fahey and Bailey Meredith. Drawing on their experience in the fashion industry, the pair set out to create considered, organic cotton bath towels that would complement and elevate the commonly neutral bathroom.

Baina’s inaugural range is a seven-piece collection designed to work in any combination, allowing customers to mix and match colours and prints. Products are made from 100 per cent organic cotton and produced in Portugal by a Global Organic Textile Standard certified mill. 

Revisit our feature on Baina’s debut collection here.

Pampa, To-yik-ca

The To-yik-ca rug collection is a collaboration between Byron Based homewares label Pampa and the Wichí (Indigenous) peoples of Argentina. This collaboration saw Wichí and Andes weavers engaged to create textiles, which were adapted by Pampa to a large format for the weaving of the rugs. 

Designs in the To-yik-ca (meaning ‘loom’ in the local dialect of the Wichí people) collection are representative of the traditional lands of the Wichí people. The end result is a beautiful collection of rugs that balance the contemporary with the traditional. Rugs in this collection feature bold geometric shapes inspired by nature, woven in sheep’s wool, and dyed in Pampa’s signature earthy and pastel tones.

North, Tiwi Strong Women’s Collection

The Tiwi Strong Women’s Collection is the latest fashion collection from not-for-profit organisation North, in collaboration with the Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association.

In this collection, artists of Pirlangimpi and Milikapiti and Waurrumiyanga were invited to share their culture through hand screen printed fashion. Each of the designs was handmade in the community, printed in a workshop with artist Timothy Growcott, then hand-sewn in Melbourne. 

North exists as a vessel to celebrate, support and broaden the exposure of textile design by Indigenous artists from remote community art centres. They are a non-Aboriginal owned business, governed by Indigenous and non-Indigenous board members. 

Revisit our feature on this collection here.

Gemma Threadgate, Threadgate

If names are anything to go by, Gemma Threadgate chose the right creative pursuit! The Sydney-based textile designer produces small-scale collections for her eponymous label from start to finish, which means designing, hand-printing, cutting and sewing the clothing and homewares with the help of one other maker.

Inspired by Ted Spagna’s 1975 book, Sleep, which explores the intimate narratives of human sleep behaviour through time-lapse photography, Gemma linked the universal act of sleep with the repetitive motions of screen printing. 

Threadgate’s subsequent six-piece Sleep collection comprises a newly designed trouser, shirt, dress hat, tote bag and cushion cover. The capsule is guided by slow fashion principles.

We’re proud to partner with heritage Australian brand Laminex to realise The Design Files + Laminex Awards program 2020.  Laminex is Australia’s leading supplier of modern laminates, quality engineered stone, timber panelling and more. Find out more here.

Winners of the The Design Files + Laminex Design Awards 2020 + Laminex will be announced November 5!

Located on the outskirts of San Francisco, this renovated residence fell victim to an electrical fire that took more than half the house, destroying family photos and heirlooms, and leaving much of it smoke damaged. When the owners embarked on restoring it, the family of five asked interior designer Sherry Hope-Kennedy to create a place that would maintain the quaint 1939-architecture of the house while honoring the distant past.

#gallery-0-6 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-6 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-0-6 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-6 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Sophisticated and relaxed, this house withstands the test of time with its classic meets vintage design. Varying natural tones, wood elements and ample windows amplify the daylight and reinforce a connection to the outdoors. Exposed ceiling beams, repurposed from barn wood, warm white walls, and French oak wide plank hardwood flooring, create an inviting backdrop. To help create zones, floors were laid in a chevron pattern in the more formal living, dining and master bed rooms, and laid straight in the informal kitchen and dining nook. An earthy color palette in woodsy browns, sage greens and French blues give this residence a Parisian flair. Classical architectural details, such as the picture frame wainscot-like molding, the fireplace mantel, and crown moldings and trims, marry with the vintage pieces. A Louis XIV-stye canapé sofa pairs with a plush modern couch, brass-finished round tables and a set of matching leather arm chairs. Antique wood heirlooms anchor the living room, adding provincial charm. The traditional kitchen boasts a marble-topped island with leather barstools, generous counter space and a farm sink, complete with a sunlit-drenched breakfast nook. The master suite’s decorative wrought iron bed frame was handmade by a local artisan. Textured country linens give the space a timeless feel. Originally only one bath, the house was reconfigured to encompass a master bath. It’s freestanding copper tub is juxtaposed with country blue cabinetry and heavily-veined carrara marble. The chevron floor pattern is replicated and layers abound with subtle textures, adding grace and warmth.

JUST BEE DESIGN

Nik & Peel are the amazing artists behind Just Bee Design. They have been creating magic in their home studio (a 1950’s original Queenslander in Cairns) for the last decade.

I immensely admire their vision and passion.

Their work is inspired by Nature and is strictly handmade using natural fabrics and recycled materials. They create screen-printed linen, home wares and original artworks.

The idea behind these photos was showing the public what they actually do, behind the scenes together. Screen-printing is a long process. Some don’t realise the time invested into creating a unique tea towel. Hence why we got together, to discuss all the steps of their production and make a list of the key points to capture on camera.

I think we succeeded! Creative minds that work together will always bring the goodies! And let’s be honest, Nik & Peel are also some pure, legendary, golden souls; also the reason these photos to turned out so great.

Thank you Nik & Peel for trusting my vision in bringing yours alive.

1. TS Makers

Breadboards need not be merely geometric and utilitarian. TS Makers wooden serving boards are like gentle, giant puzzle pieces perfect for everyday use or special occasions.

Handmade by a husband-and-wife duo in Sydney, each design is made from reclaimed Australian timbers including blue gum, brush box, yellow gum, ironbark, jarrah and spotted gum.

Shop the TS Makers range here.

2. Nicole Lawrence

Alongside lighting pieces, industrial designer Nicole Lawrence makes curvy, colourful steel furniture from her Northcote workshop. Her signature ‘Smooth’ shelf comes in seven different colours (plus a custom option!) and at least three sizes.

Just a few weeks ago, the designer launched a series of curvaceous two-tone vases in collaboration with florist, Hattie Molloy.

See Nicole’s wavy shelves here.

3. Oscar Piccolo

It’s not often that we feature an international designer, but Oscar Piccolo’s Lampada Cappello is so good how could we not? Plus, it’s in every covetable space right now.

The designer is based between London and Sicily, his curved iron bases (crafted by a metalworker in Palermo) topped with a pleated shade are the stuff of Instagram legend. And for good reason!

See more about Oscar Piccolo here.

4. Kitaboodle

When we featured these piped Kitaboodle cushions in the home of Curated Spaces projects manager Leah Holt, they sold out immediately. And we can see why!

The scalloped edged pillows come in a range of alternating colourways such as lilac and cream, peach and green, and red and white. And there are napkin sets to match!

The next drop is available for pre-order here.

5. Neighbourhood Studio

Lucas Wearne carves his limestone pieces from the back of his Thornbury home, making sculptures, plinths and columns from the rough material. But his curvaceous vases and lamps take the cake!

6. Real Non-Real

We said that big things were in-store for interior designer-in training, Brigitte Owers-Buccianti, when we featured her Formosa coat-stand last year, and considering it’s shortlisted in the furniture category of The Design Files + Laminex Design Awards, our judges clearly agree!

Made under her brand Real Non-Real, the powder-coated, industrial-inspired steel coat stand comprises a white cement conical base, undulating wave racks and a circular mid-height tray. Wardrobe, bedside table, coat-rack: it can be anything you want it to be!

See more from Real Non-Real here.

7. Knot Studio

Founded by Alex Johnson and Joel Taylor in Sydney, the duo drew on their experience in interior design and custom joinery to design an entire wavy collection! Knot Studio‘s beautiful timber pieces comprise wavy mirrors, cupboard handles and a dining table.

We particularly love the wiggly legs on the Delilah Dining Table. So good!

9. Ella Reweti

How could we do a piece on wavy pieces without including the work of ceramcist Ella Reweti? Impossible! Her corrugated vases and vessels are inspired by the simple repeated patterns found in nature, realised in a soft colour palette inspired by the colours of the Australian bush.

See Ella’s work on her website here or on Makers’ Mrkt here.

10. CCSS

Designed by CCSS founders Clare and Sonam and handmade in Melbourne – the MakeBelieve range is part of the broader CCSS universe. The Drop lamp stands at a metre-and-a-half tall with a rhythmic sculptural stem and covered in black, white, olive or violet enamel gloss paint.
