NORTHERN ROOTS | explores the relationship between ourselves and our natural environment. Bringing the outdoor world inside our homes via soft furnishings such as cushions, throws and rugs designed with calming scents such as lavender, textures such as handmade ceramic beads and detailed embroidery and tufting we enhance our mental wellbeing and our connection and appreciation for nature. This project was inspired by my familial ties to my local Northern landscape such as my grandmas back garden and the village’s organic farm and the animals that reside there. The Northern Roots collection has the goal of sustainability at its core from the use of recycled and scrap fabrics, natural yarns and dyed fabric to the repurposing of discarded materials such as cork and wood.
A second collection SPRINGPOOL | is an outdoor garden wear range inspired by the need for people to reconnect with their outside environment in an increasingly indoor world. As a response to the global pandemic, the impact nature has on our mental wellbeing is more prominent than ever with people now spending more time in their gardens and undertaking hobbies such as gardening to find a sense of calm. The collection of outdoor wear consists of products such as Wellies, umbrellas and gardening gloves, decorated with joyous repeats inspired by the creatures and plant life that inhabit my back garden and the local organic farm where I live. By helping our environment through planting, we, in turn, help ourselves, by making our homes a much more positive place.
