tomorrow afternoon i’ll be posting our 2008 d*s scholarship finalists! after we introduce each candidate, you guys will have one week to choose your favorites. one of your favorites from last year’s scholarship was natalie wright, who took home the second place prize in 2007. after her scholarship win natalie connected with the gang at flavor paper and this weekend she’ll be at icff as part of the flavor paper booth debuting her new line of wallpaper! in addition to that exciting launch, natalie sent over some great images that were part of her thesis work. i love the colors and patterns she works with- they’re so fresh and bold. want more information on natalie’s work? just click here.

when it comes to any major design show, my mind always wanders towards anything pattern-based: textiles, floor coverings and yep, wallpaper- my favorite or all favorites. and to say that jocelyn warner is one of my favorite wallpaper designers would be a massive understatement. jocelyn will be introducing two new designs at icff this year: flora (a new wallpaper inspired by historical botanical prints) and bloom (a beautiful rug depicting a single peony flower).

jocelyn’s flora wallpaper in slate (top photo above the intro) is my top pick of the new pieces- the matte black background looks thoroughly modern and classic at the same time. it’s not everyone that goes for an almost all black wallpaper but i think i could handle a small room of this pattern with a bright white ceramic chandelier (ala ms. paltrow’s kitchen chandelier). jocelyn will be showing both designs at icff this year but you can catch more information on her work right here. [thanks, simon!]
