Shortlisted for an Eco Award!

🏆 What lovely news! 

We've been shortlisted for the Hotel Designs Eco Award.

 Our 'All Tomorrow's Futures' fabric both celebrates and shows the reality of our natural world, and we've followed this up with a commitment to transparency and producing locally.

Take a second look...

 Artist Alexis Snell's expansive narrative print celebrates nature with a twist.

FIocks of birds morph into aeroplanes, whales swim alongside bottles and the smoke from a factory chimney becomes a snake.

To make the cushions we used the waste selvedge trim from the weaving process to create the fringing which would otherwise be wasted:

We think it looks amazing on the cushions: 

We wanted to follow our design statement with some positive action.

 So we took the decision to be completely transparent by releasing the names of all the mills we use to make every one of our products alongside as much information we have about raw materials, dyes and inks on our website.

Our lovely local mills have told us that they have already benefitted from this publicity by gaining extra customers.

Although it's currently very difficult to make completely sustainable products we believe that encouraging transparency across the industry is the best way to improve standards and hold brands accountable.
