Embroidery is big this season, both figuratively and literally. Being able to clearly see the maker’s hand in an object piques our curiosity, as well as giving us a respect for artisan processes. Schumacher’s ‘Marguerite’ fabric from Turnell & Gigon won The World of Interiors‘ Showstopper award at London Design Week 2018, personally presented by editor Rupert Thomas. Four further designs won Highly Commended awards: an acrylic console by Sarah Stewart-Smith from McKinney & Co; ‘Fabry’ fabrics by Manuel Canovas at Colefax and Fowler; ‘Garden Party’ fabric by Gert Voorjans from Jim Thompson; and Julian Chichester’s ‘Avante’ and ‘Tenava’ vases.
