Yesterday I was at
Petersen Creative in Cheltenham, as our designers Melanie Darwin and Charlotte Farmer were working with Steve Tustin on our new collection.
Steve is the unsung hero of New House as has done our graphic design forever, and the girls love him for good reason. He's got a cool style, but unlike most other graphic designers is happy to let our demanding designers sit next to him while manipulating their images. This works great for us, as Melanie & Charlotte truly know what they are about and having a digital magician like Steve working on their raw images means they get exactly what they intended, and is a gift.
By the end of this week the graphic design of our new collection should be going to the printer, so Steve gave me a few 'official' images yesterday :
Givanchy is a Monet-like print of many colours.
White Fern is part of an extensive white collection. Many of these prints have a puff-binder added to the printing ink, so they have a stronger body that even when held against strong sunlight, the design is still greatly emphersised.
Chicago is a new burn-out design.
Charlotte Farmer's successful Seaside Fun design is now a new roller blind fabric, but also available as a kitchen tea towel, desirable mugs, coasters and trays too.
This lovely Wave design by Melanie Darwin will be part of a new nautical section.
Florabunda by Laura Fletcher was originally created as a water colour, and then transfered to fabric.
Margo is another Laura Fletcher design that was also originated in watercolours.
Solo is a new NHT plain, and here it has been photographed with our new Zigzag braid, that was designed by Laura.
