Carraway Cushions

Working within a small creative team at Made.com gives me to opportunity to explore creative avenues I haven’t before. For AW12 we had a new textiles manufacturer where I selected up and coming textiles designers such as Tanya Ventress, Rachel Rosie West and Eleanor Young developing designs with them that I had originally spotted at show like Pulse and New Designers.

As well as working directly with the designers and manufacture in getting these designs released I also had the chance to work on some in-house briefs, creating some exclusive designs. Looking at inspiration from current trends such as the Art Deco revival and graphic patterns. I used traditional shapes and contemporised the colour pallets.

Some of these successful patterns have now been used in the AW12-SS13 rug collections.
