ABOUT

Creative luxury interiors brand launches striking new English-made fabric which goes on to win 'Best in British Product Design' at the Hotel Designs Brit List Awards 2021.

Luxury interiors brand The Monkey Puzzle Tree art fabrics & wallcoverings collaborated with artist Kirsty Greenwood to create the stunning 'Metamorphosis’, an unbleached linen union fabric taking inspiration from Egon Schiele and Klimt.

Featuring metallic gold comets, mysterious faces, and strange creatures amidst green tendrils, the fabric creates a real statement and complements both neutral schemes and rooms using dark colours.

Kirsty is inspired by pareidolia - the tendency to see faces and animals in patterns and objects. Using hand marbling as a starting point she created layers of line drawings, building up the tendrils, faces, and creatures you can see in the design, which were printed using hand silk screens by a Cumbrian-based company that specialises in traditional printing techniques.
