Josef Frank Textiles

Architect, designer, and theorist Josef Frank (1885-1967) was known throughout Europe in the 1920s as one of the continent's leading modernists.

Wallpapers and textiles designed by Josef Frank have long been classics in the world of decor. They add a lovely mix of bold color, rustic imagery and a masterful use of overall pattern and scale to a room, they typify "Swedish Modernism"

Wall covering inspired by Kendall and Gormley

After researching Kendall and Gormley's works, I asked some peers and tutors to draw a simple flower. I chose that subject matter because it was easy. I then arranged the pictures in an overlapping and interesting way and sewed vertical lines to attach the pieces. I also raised the edges as Kendall did in her 'Hidden White Room'


Kendall's Wallcoverings

Tracy Kendall produces hand painted wallpaper with subtle elegance, gives walls innovative textures and forms - spectacular visual impact. White card:

Both designs from the stripe collection. I like the effect of the layering and the idea of combining it with a concept like Gormley's, but obviously not on the same scale.
