new: johanna basford


designer johanna basford has just launched a brand new website with her full collection of work available to view. johanna’s work was a big hit last year so it’s fantastic to finally see all of her designs in one place. also, i’m thrilled to share a little peek at her latest collection, set to debut at 100% design this september. “punk peacock” and “delirium” are two new wallpaper designs that johanna has created for the show in london this fall. the bold peacock print is johanna’s first digitally printed wallpaper design and delirium is a rich hand-printed paper embellished with swarovski crystals (above). you can view johanna’s new site, and her full collection of designs, right here. [thanks, johanna!]

LOVE the b&w dishes.

I’m doing open-shelving in my kitchen and need to have pretty dishes on display. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Wow! Thank you for so many positive comments about my work and thanks to Design*Sponge for this little showcase of my bits and pieces.

I hand draw all my designs, which I feel makes the final patterns that little bit special – every motif begins as an inky drawing on a big sheet of paper, instead of pixels on a plasma screen. I feel this gives the finished pattern a certain depth of character… or maybe I just don’t like computers!
