#CHELSEADESIGNWEEK2020

In spite of the current virus scare the Chelsea Design Week started for the press traditionally at Designers Guilds Flagship Store on Kings Road. London was calmer than usual but business as usual.

The new collection consists of botanical prints from the secret garden to geometric and shiny velvets in salmon pink.

Yellow is still a big colour in interior design as well as fashion. Mixed with blacks and warmet notes of brown and a fresh accent of crisp white. Designers Guild.

Greens and blues, a classic Tricia combination. Do not miss the current exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum about her 50 years of interior design.

A very Designers Guild flower arrangement. You do not need to many flowers, it is all about using your vases in the right way and mix greens with poetic flowers.

An unusual colour combination for William Yeoward. Elegant greys with bright yellows. Note the embroided cushions.

Oranges and indoor gardens on the wall. This time at Osborne and Little.

Tropical garden, Osborne and Little.

At into the jungle. Fantastic artist and textile designer Emma Shipley is mostly known for her brilliant big scarves in silk. Now she has cleverly designed a collection for Clark and Clark, Chelsea Harbour Design Centre. Not as many visitors this press day as usual. Everybody spaced themselves out and hand sanitizers were everywhere!

Sanderson best known for their floral textiles celebrated 160 years! CHDC.

With the inspiration from Seville, Cole & Son. CHDC.

At lighting company Porta Romana the message was upcycling! From rewiring to repaint and reshadeing.

Even more cautious designer Nina Campbell had gone bold on the wall with forestry ferns etc...more soon...
