When you see the new Brit Royale collection of cushions from The Colour Union you will nod your heads in agreement.
Zara Siddiqui-Lester, Textile designer and retired University Lecturer is founder of The Colour Union. Zara has created as one of three new collections a quirky interpretation of the current powerful trend of interior accessories with the famous and sometimes infamous Union Jack: It is called Brit Royale.
“I wanted to mix the old fashioned tradition of products lovingly hand-made with state of the art digital printing to achieve an almost imperfect ‘perfect’ finish in clarity of design and production. My work is all about contradiction!”
Luxury is expressed in the richness of colour, historic imagery and iconic pattern with a hint of humour and drama.
The ‘new’ old collection of soft furnishings, poufs and footstools are created using 100% cotton velvet, organic fabrics are used where possible.
Provenance: ‘All designed, printed and made in England’ (where else!)
Creative Ethos: ‘More is more and colour truly rocks!’
Welcome to a new colourful couture culture of excess for style aficionados and colourholics alike. Poor beige may you ‘rest in peace’
Amen to that.
