Lorna Syson’s Stunning Sculptural Textiles
Written by Urban Sherp on July 9th, 2010
Who: Lorna Syson Textiles – Coventry, UK
What: Wall Flowers
Where: Lorna Syson – £100 – £3999, in a variety of colors & sizes.
Why We Love It: These ‘Wall Flowers’ by textile artist Lorna Syson are anything but. We fell in love with the rich colors, the vibrancy and complete originality of these sculptural wall hangings. They truly are stunning.
Made of 100% wool, sued and silk, the textiles are screen printed or digitally printed with patterns designed by Lorna or in solid colors. The petals are then laser cut and meticulously hand woven to create the 3-D form. One piece can take up to a week to create.
At ICFF, Lorna mentioned that her goal was to source an entirely sustainable collection by 2015. She has far surpassed that target date and will be presenting a completely ‘ec0-friendly’ collection at 100% Design in London this September – can’t wait!
For a taste of Lorna’s stunning collection with a smaller sticker price, check out her collection of accessories and pillows – the pillows are filled with 100% recycled wool that’s naturally resistant to dust mites, so is great for people with allergies.
