Description
Liberty returns home for its 150th anniversary interiors collection, The House of Liberty. In celebration, the design house turns to its illustrious past, documented in the drawings and manuscripts by the pioneering designers and forward-thinking artists of the time. Brimming with richly detailed hand-drawn illustrations of carved oak staircases, wall panelling, tiled fireplaces, and stained-glass windows, the Liberty sketchbooks unveil the aesthetic legacies treasured in the Regent Street flagship.
The interior fabric and wallpaper collection draws on pivotal moments that have defined Liberty as the leading tastemaker and artistic innovator of interior design. Framed by the rich textures and relaxed glamour of bohemian botanicals lies the genesis of Liberty. Discovered in the renowned 60,000-strong design archive, high Victorian maximalist-style paisleys, embellished embroideries, and ‘70s style florals are complemented by characterful geometrics and formal stripes. Inspired by the sophistication of artists, poets, and playwrights from the sensuous Aesthetic movement, The House of Liberty embodies the decades’ cultural shifts in a captivating array of harmonious juxtapositions.
Discovered in one of Liberty’s archival pattern books, Paisley Willow is a weave interpretation of Palm Willow. Carefully redrawn and reimagined to preserve the exquisite intricacy of the original design. This traditional paisley floral, infused with a tropical twist, features an abundant garden of trailing vines, feathery fronds, and jewel-like blossoms, all nestled among elegant boteh paisleys. Crafted from Tana Reborn Eve, an innovative approach to transforming surplus fabrics. Paisley Willow is warp printed on a 20% recycled cotton, offering a blurred ikat effect, suitable for drapery and cushions.
