This spring, Soane Britain has collaborated with the English artist Charlotte Johnstone on two painterly designs depicting flowers and insects. While best known for her portraiture, fabrics fit naturally into the narrative of Charlotte’s work, where the pattern of a chair’s upholstery or the drape of a dress tells the sitter’s story just as the face and hands do.
Alongside the collaboration with Charlotte, Soane is also adding several new designs to its own fabric collections, from a floral chintz spilling over with blousy flowers to a timeless striped weave, as well as new versions of much-loved favourites in fresh colourways. Supremely practical furniture, lighting and rattan designs also join the collection, as do new timber finishes, honouring the techniques and craftsmanship behind the designs.
