Drawing inspiration from a coastal holiday —ย think seaside homes, summer entertaining and laid back living,ย Loveshack‘sย Spring Summer 15/16 collection showcases a range of homewares andย furniture in the brand’s signatureย bright hues and bold patterns.
“This seasonโs collection is a mix of colour and metallic tones,” explains founder Nicky Morgan. “I have a love of colour and it always dominates some part of the collections. I have sourced and had unique pieces designed all over the globe, as well as exploring some traditional design techniques.”
Such techniques include Japanese Shibori and Indonesian Batik, which have beenย used to create one-off pattern effects in Loveshack’sย newly developed bedding range. “Shibori involves the twisting and binding of sections of fabric and soaking in indigo dye, achieving a tie dye like circular effect,” says Nicky. “Where Batik printing is the process of stamping the fabric with hot wax, block dying the surrounding fabric and leaving a specialised handcrafted imprint.ย Theseย techniques have allowed forย beautiful patterns to be created and have enrichedย this season’s collection of bedding, which includesย quilts, cushions and throws.”
Other collection highlights include aย range of handmade rattan furniture, such as the Santa Cruz and Malibu chair with matching tables; anย expanded ceramics offering, which featuresย a three-piece round and square Hampton set available in block colours or a chic marble design; and aย rangeย of floor and door rugs inย an array of bright colours and patterns.
