SPOTLIGHT ON…
Bed linen fit for The King’s goddaughter
With an impeccable Royal and interior design pedigree, India Hicks is the perfect bedfellow for double Royal Warrant holder Heirlooms, whose bespoke luxury linens are made in West Sussex.
Exclusively for Heirlooms, India designed her new Warm Harbour collection of bed linen and accessories to encapsulate the natural beauty of her island life in the Bahamas, with three colourways to evoke a distinct sense of peace and sophistication: Morning Mist, Tidal Blue and Shell White. Air-jet woven for sumptuous softness and high performance, included in her collection are duvet covers, pillowcases, bed runners and decorative cushions featuring a toile print of India’s Bahamian life with her late dog Banger and parrot Jenga. heirlooms-linens.com
Classic Meets Couture
Giles Deacon x Sanderson
Globally known for mixing fashion, fine art, theatre and grand-scale glamour, English couturier Giles Deacon has reimagined Sanderson archive prints with sublimely theatrical effect. Across 11 wallpapers, nine fabrics and one velvet in 15 colourways all steeped in sumptuous drama, he has layered daring and eccentric touches onto iconic historic prints, with influences spanning Greek mythology, medieval and more.
He spent two years carefully crafting the collection, which he describes as “sublimely theatrical, eccentrically refined and classically elegant fabrics and wallcoverings. This is a collection that delights in the theatrical and fantastical yet is always tethered to a strong sense of Britishness. With these anchors of design comes a thoughtful and universally beautiful story of decoration, each design holding its own. It’s a classic story. There is a transportable aspect to interiors a world away from the outside, which fascinates me, where you are immersed in your own utopia. There is an immersive aspect to the storytelling of the collection which travelled from a bygone era to the modern day and then moving back and forth. These designs have been imagined for all – for those who are entranced by the sublime, eccentricity, decadence and beauty.”
Sanderson’s lead designer Rebecca Craig says: “The aim was always to create a new and enduringly beautiful decorating story with Giles’s hand elevating the collection.” sanderson.sandersondesigngroup.com
