Sophie Robinson Designs

A MASTERCLASS IN MAXIMALISM

Inspired by the woodland garden of Sophie’s countryside home, this collection presents a juxtaposition of archive and abstract pieces, looking upwards towards basking tree canopies and out across carpeted meadows, dotted with jewel petaled flowers. Lazy days, picnicking and pond dipping stir memories in inviting colourways of time basking in nature.

IN THE WOODS WITH SHERBET STRIPE

The heart of Sophie’s home is like an exploration into woodland, revealing the wonder of nature in psychedelic colour. In the Woods is an expression of the purity of nature’s beauty with the power of colour at play. Sherbet Stripe sits pretty and mischievously in the fore, a confident burst of Sophie’s signature shades on a directional diagonal stripe.

WOODLAND FLORAL WITH RIBBON STRIPE

Woodland Floral is a sublimely decorative hand-drawn archive design, representative of Sophie’s country garden and the woodland that surrounds her home. An illustrative wallpaper of peony, primrose and laburnum alludes to time spent outdoors and the ever-giving joys of springtime. By contrast, Paper Straw Stripe is a classic picnic hamper design, festive and delighting in simple pleasures.

DAISY TRELLIS WITH BASKET WEAVE

Layering charm in abundance, sweet, nostalgia-inspired designs come together in frivolous floral elegance. Sweet daisies, picked from the garden and hand painted in the studio, link together to create the Daisy Trellis wallpaper, which retains the intricate detail of each individual flowerhead. Inspired by baskets laden with home grown vegetables and tablecloths piled high with delicious kitchen garden delights, Basket Weave is a midscale cotton ready to upholster with joy.

wonderland floral with meander

The wonder of an archive design comes to life in wallpaper, showing the sporadic and sometimes untameable nature of flora. A fantastic link between period and contemporary interiors, Wonderland Florals’s cotton linen ground displays a slightly textural appearance. In contrast, Meander is a bold, contemporary woven fabric, inspired by the winding woodland walks that surround Sophie’s home, tempting you to slow down and wander.

wildflower meadow with basket weave

Taken from the Harlequin archive, Wildflower Meadow is a loosely interpreted impressionist floral fabric that sings of colour confidence. Repainted in the studio, its joyous aesthetic packs a vibrant, flower power punch. Paired with Basket Weave, pastel-hued summer days come to mind with the bright and light green loops and crosses of the basket’s design making this fabric feel textured and dynamic.

DAPPLED LEAF WITH WILDNESS

Blending nature’s raw qualities with the joy of the abstract, this collection dabbles in daydreams and reality. Dappled Leaf recalls walking through the shifting seasons in its four considered colourways. First produced as a block printed wallpaper by Jeffrey & Co. circa 1905, Dappled Leaf comes as both a fabric and wallpaper. Wilderness is an abstract take on the drenched countryside through a cosy window view.

wiggle

The joy of the collection is not only the colour but the texture. As we experience nature with all our senses, so too must we delight in seeing and feeling the prints and patterns as designed by Harlequin x Sophie Robinson. Wiggle is a delightfully free design, following the flightpath of a butterfly, fluttering and bumbling around the garden. In a wallpaper the surface printed design leaves an inky butterfly footprint. In the embroidery, the insect’s wiggle jumps from the fabric in an embroidered thread.
