Multidisciplinary practice Harrods Interior Design, situated on the third floor of the storied London department store of the same name, has teamed up with fellow British heritage brand Cole & Son on the Couture Carousel collection. As an homage to the 175th anniversary of Harrods, the mica-finished wallpapers reimagine watercolor illustrations from Harrods catalogue covers of yore in a palette of crisp, fashionable hues—lavender, China blue, and grayscale included. The croquis drawings, highlighting fashions that span the glamorous 1950s to experimental 1990s, are backdropped by its famous windows and weave in pearls and poodles that reference the luxe retailer’s jewelry rooms and bygone pet spa.
Jiang Qiong Er x Roche Bobois
Drawing from meditative Chinese lounges, Shanghai- and Paris-based designer Jiang Qiong Er has contrived the poetic Bamboo Mood collection for Roche Bobois. Employing rejuvenating shades of celadon and coral, the collection exhibits the fluid lines that pervade Asian decorative arts and simultaneously evoke the ensemble’s namesake grass. The sinuous shape of the plump sofa and armchair, both covered in a subtly nubby upholstery, pairs with the collection’s undulating rug, the intriguingly slanted and high-gloss vases, and occasional tables.
Jinny Blom x Mylands
London-based landscape architect Jinny Blom’s love for foliage has sparked the latest range from historic British paint manufacturer Mylands. The 12 nature-inspired shades handpicked by Blom are aptly meant for outdoor settings and run the gamut from fresh green Sprig, ideal for sprucing up alfresco furniture, to warm black Woodnight, ripe for invigorating utilitarian hinges and handles. Others have more personal roots: Mineral-red Blomster, for example, is an ode to the farmhouses Blom was surrounded by during her time in Denmark, and Rain is a tribute to Arbutus x andrachnoides, Blom’s favorite hybrid-strawberry tree.
