It’s been a busy week in the design world, especially in the Big Apple. The NYCxDesign Festival kicked off yesterday with events and showcases across the city, and Sunday marks the return of ICFF at the Javits Center. There will be a lot of fresh launches to discuss next Friday, but here are some must-see debuts to mull over in the meantime.
Los Angeles–based designer Johnson Hartig, founder of cult fashion label Libertine, dropped his latest collection for Schumacher. Among the eye-catchers from the statement-making 20-piece line are the cheeky Amuse Bouche fabric, the kaleidoscopic Amal wallcovering, the zigzagging Jilly velvet tape, and the sinuously striped Crème Anglaise paper.
Samuel & Sons added two new collections to its portfolio of delightful passementerie trims. Palm Royale features nine decorative borders adorned in vibrant tropical motifs—including the frond-filled Verdant Palm—while Evienne offers silk-and-wool velvet piping in 33 tonal shades, such as pale pink Petal and golden yellow Dijon.
Jenni Kayne released a sophisticated line of outdoor furniture in collaboration with Business & Pleasure Co. Along with primly pleated umbrellas and water-safe coolers, newcomers from the coastal-chic collection include adjustable sun loungers, pure cotton beach towels, and a teakwood-framed sofa with armrest pillows.
Kit Kemp’s second collab with GP&J Baker is a pattern lover’s dream. The characterful collection offers more than 100 craft-driven fabrics and wallcoverings, ranging from the polychromatic Tip Toe to the mixed-motif Tradewind and the animal-clad Noah’s Ark.
Kate Berry, Cabana’s U.S. editor, drew inspiration from her own terrace when designing her wallcovering line for Graham & Brown. Available in multiple muted colorways, the collection, called Garden in the Sky, offers three enchanting patterns based on original paintings: the vining trellis–like Gem Espalier, the botanically banded Climbing Branches, and the trompe l’oeil Moire Faux Bois.
Newport Brass unveiled the Pardees kitchen collection and the Kimbell bathroom series, both offered in 22 finishes. The former features 10 jewelry-inspired fixtures with coined details, such as an elegantly curved pull-down faucet and hot-water dispenser, while the latter spans two dozen architectural styles, including a shower trim and a wall-mounted tub filler.
United Fabrics introduced the Casual Classics series into its ongoing collaboration with Crypton Home. In addition to the two-tone Ellory and the chenille-like Harris, debuts include the high-contrast Merritt and the buttery soft Lowell—all of which come in multiple colorways and boast a durable 56,000 double rubs.
Rebecca Atwood debuted an ethereal line of window fabrics called White on White. The collection offers five monochromatic, embroidered, sheer designs: the stippled Dotted Floral, the lacy Little Palm, the rhythmic Petals, the leafy Scattered Foliage, and the blossomy Stamped Garland.
House of Hackney’s London Fields collection offers a modern spin on an array of traditional motifs. Standouts from the exuberant 18-piece line include the folksy Dalston Daisy paper; the graphic Martello Check velvet; the undulating Artist’s Stripe wallcovering; the multicolored plaid London Fields Check; and Loddiges, an antique floral tapestry–fueled beauty available as wallpaper and upholstery.
Donghia’s Luminary collection pays homage to 20th century textile designer Dorothy Liebes. The series reimagines an assortment of the late, great weaver’s dexterous designs as 41 intricately made fabrics, including the multipatterned Sudare, the space-dyed boucle Painterly, and the shimmery Lurex-accented Skylight.
Elson & Company rolled out a collaboration with Dallas-based interior designer and James showroom founder Meredith Ellis. Hand-knotted by Nepalese artisans from pure Himalayan wool, the launch introduces four timeless rug patterns: the geometric Thatcher, the flowery Lantana, the Spanish Colonial–inspired Allende, and the checkered Hunter Plaid.
