Isola Bella

Posted by Isla on Oct 20, 2009 in Finds

From one island girl to another! I swear, we bloggers have such an amazing opportunity to meet so many incredible people in the field of design. Gina of Isola Bella is certainly one i felt honored to find! Her amazing hand printed line of home textiles – napkins, table runners, sachets, gourmet kitchen towels, placemats, note cards, wall art…(the list goes on) is vibrant, joyful, and most importantly, healthy. Using all eco-friendly inks and natural or recycled materials, Isola Bella products are a breath of truly fresh air.

“My inspiration comes from the beauty and daily discoveries of living on an island. I consider myself a beachcomber. A concept for a design often emerges after collecting shells and coral fragments that have washed up on a favorite beach or exploring and photographing the tropical landscape. I am drawn to organic patterns and textures found in nature and the sea and natural fibers. Living simply and creating beauty is my essence and what I want to share with others.”

Affinity

Posted by Isla on Apr 8, 2009 in Kaypee Soh Textiles

Affinity

Today we were playing around with art and pillows (again!) and built a beautiful setting around this piece above, called Affinity by Kaypee Soh. We had it above our Trada Sofa which is covered in a beautiful, neutral, organic cotton, textured fabric. The fabric in real life is a little warmer than the image i have below, so the colors really blend almost perfectly together, but at least this shows the elegant style and basic color themes we were working with. These are much deeper colors than the limes and aquas
