Working to a live brief set by Woven textiles company Dash & Miller, the aim is to create a wealth of samples for a chosen designer / client. There were two categories, apparel and home interiors. Having already shown a strong interest in the interiors market this seemed like a natural choice for me.
Choosing between clients however proved ever more tricky. Designers guild, Missoni Home and Ralph Lauren home took my eye in particular. Each company has something different to offer. The nature of my work is currently quite graphical. The three companies mentioned are very much about the linear stripe, something that i feel will be a positive influence on my own developing work.
Designers Guild work for many different companies, i looked into the company in depth and found that the way the it runs is a way in which i aspire to work like in the future. Clients range from fashion houses to interiors and the company, based at a shop in London cater to all tastes.
Designers Guild work off collections. Each collection is based on a theme and it is from here that colour palettes, shapes, and ideas are generated. Below shows an image taken from the website, marking out colours and names (left) to different moods as it were.
