Interesting Extras!

Hunted and Stuffed Cushions

I found this company at a trade show in London, I think their products are great fun and I really appreciate the fact that they make something new and contemporary from found and recycled items. These striking home accessories are a complete move away from the mass-produced items found in the high street, which as always is true to my heart.

 

Hunted and Stuffed specialise in sourcing origional vintage textiles and upcycling them into beautiful new creations for the home. All pieces are one of a kind or only a small quantity is produced, everything is made in the UK, using British materials where possible. Bespoke work is produced foe retail customers, celebrity and commercial clients...

 

 Owner Ellie Laycock’s forthcoming book ‘Creating The Vintage Look’ (Cico Books) is a guide to upcycling vintage pieces to create your own unique decorative and functional objects for the home and will be published internationally in September 2013.

KRISTJANA S WILLIAMS Studio ​

I love detailed drawings and illustrations and one of my favourites is Kristjana S Williams. The colours and images are stunning and unique.

Kristjana S Williams creates magical landscapes, filled with impossible, exotic creatures by interweaving fragments of Victorian engravings with contemporary illustration and colouring. Icelandic born and a graduate of Central St Martin’s, Williams’ illustration work spans the worlds of fashion, homeware and prints and has gained widespread critical acclaim.

​Kristjana’s recent work includes large scale mural displays at the V&A for the London Design Festival, a solo exhibition “Dyragardurin” at Outline Editions’ temporary gallery in Soho, a collaboration with heritage furniture maker George Smith and wallpaper designer Cole & Son, and commissions for the Chanel Group and Paul Smith amongst others. She is a regular exhibitor at Outline Editions who showcase and sell her work through exhibitions. Outline Editions launched an exclusive collection of prints by for her solo show “Anachroquarianism” at Shapero Rare Books in 2012.
