I lived in NY for ten years working as a consultant and a designer for architects and interior designers, sourcing and developing textiles and interiors products (I still do this work). I worked on projects for private and commercial clients such as the Aga Khan and the King of Jordan Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Jaeger and the Four Seasons Hotels.
Having designed across a wide range of surfaces and media, I wanted to continue this by designing a collection of interrelated pieces, still using the best quality materials and hand-crafted manufacturing, but at a more affordable price-range than the pieces I develop as a consultant. The Snowden Flood ‘diffusion’ line if you will! The first part of the collection is the ceramics, to be launched at 100% East in Sept 2006. Soon to come are laser cut leather and suede cushions, embroideries, wallpapers and rugs.
The ceramics depict related images, although each piece of the six-piece set (of plates, mugs is a four-piece set) has a different design. Most of these are images you don’t look twice at on a long boring drive up the motorway or on your walk to work. I wanted to take this sort of overlooked image, elevate them and make them beautiful by framing them on a piece of tableware.
Price range: £18 – £220
