New custom wool quilt, watermelon silk & cotton

I just thought that I’d share this custom quilt design that I am currently working on in the studio. It was a well thought out process that, I suppose, was much like a client liason with my architecture projects. Having this architecture background helps immensely with the design of interior products and it makes for a speedy and efficient design and delivery process. I like to reference all aspects of my diverse design background and having a varied skillset keeps me going! Communication was via email and we worked together to narrow down colours and fabrics to the chosen two below. The tw0-sided quilt is to go in a room with very dark, almost black, chocolate brown walls and it will be folded to reveal both sides, resting at the foot of the bed against crisp white/cream sheets. I think that this will look fabulous against the dark wall and modern french provincial interior. It is 100% watermelon silk on one side and 100% limited edition cotton print from The Alexander Henry collection. The 100% australian wool wadding adds weight and warmth. This quilt will be added to an upcoming featured custom items gallery, so please visit!

We custom design and hand-make all of our quilts such as this one which you can find in the store. This one has 100% Australian cotton wadding and is made with 100% silks and cottons. Its a modern patchwork design, incorporating a handwoven, patterned, Lao textile. It is beautiful in any interior as it can be folded in multiple ways to reveal different fabrics, thereby creating different looks. We also make quilts with 100% Australian wool wadding, bed runners and throws. Drop us an email and we’d be happy to assist with your custom quilt.

After waiting a while for a perfect hand-loomed Lao fabric to land on my doorstep, one finally did. On the quilt composition below a dark navy, Lao IKAT weave dominates. This is the first of many quilts and throws that we have in production. They are designed and manufactured in Melbourne, Australia. These quilts are padded with 100% Australian cotton and wool wadding. We have also been taking orders for custom bed and lounge throws, designed specifically to match exisitng decors. We love to work closely with clients, where possible, to lovingly create timeless pieces so that they can be enjoyed with a sense of pleasure and pride. Please keep an eye out for these throws when we list them!
