Indienne Style
Anna French’s Palampore has won Homes & Gardens’ best wallpaper collection in its 2018 awards celebrating the best of design. The range is named after the intricate fabric panels from India that played a key role in the chintz-mania of 17th- and 18th-century Europe. These exotic, Indienne-inspired designs, available from Jacaranda Carpets, include charming tree of life, batik and paisley motifs on fabrics and wallcoverings; pictured is the ‘Palampore Leaf’ wallcovering.
Two further fabrics available at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour walked away winners: ‘Garden Party’ by Gert Voorjans for Jim Thompson (best printed fabric), ‘Cochiti’ from the Arapahos collection by Pierre Frey (best embroidered fabric). Arapahos was also named best fabric collection. Several highly commended awards include Mark Alexander’s Handcrafted Modern collection, Zinc Textile’s ‘Chepi Rainbow’ fabric and Sanderson’s ‘Cromer’ fabric.
