With bed linen, bath towels, cushions and throws, the Greg Natale Home range hit Myer Melbourne and Sydney stores recently and it’s a rather sumptuous affair replete with Greg’s signature geometrics andย some interestingย organic patterns too. We caught up with the designer to get the skinny on the collection.
โI did a cushion range last year and the next logical phase was to create bed linen. Iโve got a real passion for bed linen and Iโve always wanted to create a range,โ says Greg who thinks the bed is often neglected in the interior styling game. โFor me, when I create an interior itโs really about developingย a very cohesive, finished look and the bed always finishes off a room. A lot of designers neglect the bed but Iโve always paid special attention to it as the bed really is the final layer.” Until now, he’s always relied on custom made linen to fill the gap.
While the inspiration for the range has its roots in the Greg Natale brand DNA (think strong, repeated geometric pattern), the collection features organic motifs too. โObviously my geometrics feature but theyโre broken up with organic pattern including malachite and the dot prints,โ says Greg who cites the malachite print as his favourite from the new range. โI love the Malachite collection because the organic shapes are different for me. I also love the towels as I think my Astoria pattern translated well into towels.โ
Ultimately, Greg sees cushions and bed linen as an easy way to layer colour, pattern and contrast in a room. โYou can replace them or rearrange them without any fuss whenever you want a new look and itโs a real thrill to be able to finally share these collections. Itโs been a long time coming and I canโt wait to see how everyone styles them in their own home,โ says Greg.
Greg Natale Home will be further released through Myerโs remaining five flagship stores in February 2017.
