Finishing day one with a big smile ☺️

This last few months have been an incredibly huge push towards a slightly different direction in my business. Today, Sept 9th, I launched my new collection of interior fabrics at a wonderful group show on London’s South Bank.

Yesterday during the day I set up the showcase with 34 other makers. Last night, I finished uploading 84 new items to my website.
Last month I pulled a photoshoot (actually 2) out of the bag.
In July, I finalised the collection, and started making a few cushion samples for the shoot.
At the end of May, I launched my new website.

I often think I don’t know where the time goes - but it passes too quickly when you have (big) stuff to do.

So here’s a tired but happy photo before I left ‘Crafted Futures’ for the day. You can see a peek behind me of my display. For the full Monty, you can visit the show for the next 10 days over London Design Festival.

It really is the 80/20 (perhaps 90/10??) rule of what you see vs what you don’t behind the products. Huge congratulations to all the makers involved in Crafted Futures. So much love, effort and unwavering dedication to their craft 🙌🙌🙌

Fantastic to catch a glimpse of our group show with Design-Nation UK up on Waterloo Bridge this morning 😊

After a soggy load-in yesterday, the sun was shining bright for everyone who graced us on the South Bank today. A great way to kick off day one of Crafted Futures at Oxo Tower Wharf

Thanks for putting our name up in lights Coin Street 🤩

Marseille has become one of my favourite cities. It’s not polished. It’s not predictable. What I love most is the contrast.

Monumental architecture sits alongside weathered walls. Rich colour appears unexpectedly against concrete. Patterns emerge through shadows, reflections and everyday details.

From one special visit I filled sketchbooks and camera rolls with these observations.

This September, those collected moments will become a new textile collection launching during London Design Festival.

After many months of quietly sharing word of the new collection, it’s nice to finally be approaching the launch date.

Behind the scenes it has been anything but quiet! There’s been a hive of activity in my studio. Planning displays for , unfurling rolls of sampling, cutting swatches, making cushions and sourcing props for several photoshoots, it’s all been go, go, go!

For any of you that haven’t visited me online in a while, I also have a new website! I’ve poured all of my energy in to it for the first half of this year. It’s nice and shiny ✨

Today my bank holiday Monday has been scanning fabrics and uploading all the products in time for the launch in just under 2 weeks. I might have a clear desk again soon…Wish me luck!

What’s been happening in your world this BH Monday?

Thanks to Diana Stainton · Product Photography for capturing a glimpse of my work 📸

Next break? January perhaps…

As someone who’s been printing fabrics for over 20 years, I’ve been watching the world of digital print closely. These last few years printing methods have taken a big change in direction.
Two of the UK’s largest silk printers have closed in the last two years. It’s had a huge knock-on effect for my business, but is also very sad to lose these relationships after years of working together.

Whilst this has been happening there’s been an advancement of print technology in the interior market. Perhaps not by coincidence. With pigment printing now available on a wide range of bases, I wanted to take advantage of production available here in the UK.

For my latest collection I’ll be offering a range of prints on a natural cotton and linen base. The print quality is great. The lead times are attractive. The low minimums mean working in a more sustainable way. Printing only what is needed.

I’m excited to start working with interior designers who my designs not only speak to, but who believe in sourcing fabrics that are produced in a purposeful way.

The collection will be coming this September as part of London Design Festival with Design-Nation

This may look like a simple bundle of cloth, however it turns out it’s an important marker and the foundation for my business going forward.

I attended a few talks last year where interior designers were heavily encouraging the use of natural fabrics over man-made and mixed blends. I wholeheartedly agree.

The challenge with that is that it’s not as straight forward. When it comes to catering for Commercial or Contract clients, natural fabrics aren’t that easy to use due to strict regulations and performance requirements. I’ve done projects for residential and contract, so understand the nature of both.

I deliberated a lot about this when deciding what bases to select for my new collection. I chose a classic Cotton satin and Cotton/Linen.

Part of what I’m offering with the made-to-order fabrics is the ability to create with purpose, offering the most suitable cloth for the project, so if these aren’t suited, then other bases can be sourced.

I can’t wait to find those of you out there that love a strong print and want to make a statement in your interior space.

What are your go-to fabrics for your Interior design projects?

Every PIPET textile begins as a drawing.

A slower process. A more personal one. A time to be free and play, knowing that the refinement comes later.

I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve been working on.

Happiness in Discovery.
When you become a kid in a candy store, spoiled by obsessive detail after detail.

Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse in Marseille is an iconic example of Modernist social housing. Everywhere you look there are space saving concepts and ideas cleverly thought out to be practical and beautiful. Any enthusiast will know exactly that feeling of being in such a special building. Skipping from one considered moment to the next.

Happiness is also the hilarity of trying to take a serious photo whilst getting blown away on the windiest of rooftops 😆

After so much excitement it was a treat to experience the stunning Mediterranean views and fine creative dining from the ‘Belly of the Architect’. The historic restaurant, Le Ventre de l’Architecte, has a beautifully preserved modernist interior featuring vintage furnishings by Charlotte Perriand and Jean Prouvé. Worth booking in advance to get a spot on the balcony👌
