“As the designer of the launch collection for Moore & Moore wallpaper KT brought a cohesive and original design aesthetic to the collection, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

She allowed my concepts to come into being in an exciting and beautiful way and strove to take the designs to a higher level, encouraging me to continually raise expectations of what we wanted to achieve with the collection. Some of the designs came easily to us, others were more stubborn, allowing us to experiment and the end result was always better for it.

We have only had positive feedback from our customers, who include interior designers, retailers and end consumers, who feel that the collection has brought an Australian aesthetic to the interiors market. I cannot recommend KT more highly – working with her on our launch collection was wonderful and we look forward to a long and successful relationship as our business continues to grow.”

“I commissioned KT Doyle to create the main wallpaper in the stairwell of Laruche Bar & Supperclub in 2009. I wanted something as different, thought provoking and beautiful as I had sought to create in the rest of Laruche and she produced a design that exceeded my expectations. She understood my vision and in turn created wallpaper that perfectly reflects the personality I wanted Laruche to project. This reflection is noted also by my colleagues, industry leaders and by the many customers who seek out the luxurious hideaway that is Laruche.

KT is an exceptional designer, with an eye for beauty. Her work has a matured contemporary elegance and craftsmanship. She created a unique design for Laruche that won’t be found anywhere else and has added further depth to the high quality brand we strive to create at Laruche.”

“My mother’s family was very proud to hear that our Walter was at the heart of a new series of artworks by KT Doyle and now every member of her family owns a treasured piece from the Collected Patterns series.

KT has created beautifully resolved and refined artworks that parallel the work of Walter Hill, who was tenacious and unrelenting in his efforts of agricultural development for the Queensland colony. I have collected several of these highly sophisticated works as gifts and to add to my own art collection, and our Cinchona letterpress print is just as striking as the Norman Linsday etchings that sit opposite in our home.

KT’s work is highly sought after and the Collected Patterns series is no exception, making it perfect for collectors with a shrewd sense of rare and unique fine art. I look forward to suggesting the artworks as part of furniture packages in residential and corporate fit outs for those who are looking to enhance their collections with exquisite understated simplicity and sophistication.”

I wanted to produce a range of sustainable home furnishings, manufactured locally, while connecting people to place by making links between the objects we use as ‘place-makers’, in this case wallpaper and textiles, and the world in which we live.

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 …

The wallpaper is printed with water-based and metallic inks on FSC paper and finished with a matt varnish for wipe-ability. It was important to work with Australian manufacturers to support local industry and a reduced carbon footprint.

The Falling Leaves collection was photographed in an abandoned and decaying heritage-listed Queenslander, to partially transform the space through a process called ‘making place’. By using wallpaper and textiles to re-inhabit one of the rooms in the house the project examined ‘belonging’ and our collective ability to make a sense of place for ourselves in the world.
