PERFECT PARTNERSHIP

The marriage of blue and white is an ever harmonious one. Timeless, elegant and fresh, it works for all manner of patterns – and in our edit of new collections (p72) we see it works beautifully in a contemporary way, too. Here a Japanese scene with pagodas, flying cranes and young women fishing is portrayed in a detailed hand-drawn toile. The height of a stairwell allows the generous scale to flourish and the clean contrast of the colours to remain perfectly balanced.
