English textile designer Mimi Pickard takes a completely bespoke approach to her fabrics and wallpapers; she designs and prints them herself creating a wonderfully distinctive character that could never be achieved with mass production.
.
Inspired by the artists and members of the avant-garde Bloomsbury Group, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, who painted virtually every surface in their home Charleston Farmhouse, creating a home full of colour and art. Mimi’s range of fabrics and wallpapers uses a range of colours that sit beautifully with each other, enabling endless ways of building a scheme that mixes colour and pattern in any way you wish.
.
“I want my designs to emulate the natural and almost naïve feel the Bloomsbury decorative style created, as well as having a strong sense of colour and shape. Many of them have been developed using texture and collage with a strong influence from the English countryside.”
.
There are three collections – Charlie, Lily and Jack (named after Mimi’s children) and all fabrics and wallpapers are printed in England.
