  • During the development of my collection of sustainable wallpaper and textiles, Falling Leaves, I was invited by Space Furniture Brisbane to provide the backdrop for their window installation to launch a range of new furniture and homewares by contemporary Dutch design heroes, Moooi.

  • Inspiration for the Space Furniture display came from the banquet table of the Baroque period, with a decadent feasting table set to feed the aristocracy. The importance here of context to storytelling made parallels with my project Making Place: Wallpaper & Textiles, which resulted in my collection, Falling Leaves.

  • To celebrate the window installation and the near culmination of my project, Making Place: Wallpaper & Textiles, Space Furniture and Porters Original Paints hosted an industry event to showcase our collaboration.

  • The window collaboration informed the design for the Falling Leaves collection during a critical stage of development. I made the connection between the historically charged ‘damask’ pattern in European wallpaper and textile design and the way in which we connect with the spaces we live in and move through.

  • Metaphorical connections and intersections are evident in the lattice-like design, assembled from a deconstructed damask-influenced pattern, which builds up and falls away and builds up again.

  • It’s the connections, both individual and collective, that we make with place that give us a sense of belonging and create our (hi)stories.
