Designers Guild in London

In 2008 I traveled to England. Part of my time there was spent in London viewing the latest collections from Osborne & Little and Designers Guild. I also visited the flagship Designers Guild shop on Kings Rd. The product and displays were amazing.   Much of the product is only available online in the US.
There was beautiful fabric, wallpaper, furniture, linen and bedding. The displays in the shop are innovative and lively, true to Designers Guild style. The hanging panels of fabric are a perfect backdrop to the displays.
Sometimes more is better. The mix of fabrics on the curvaceous chair is bright and spirited. Love it.
The low profile and clean lines of the sectional give it a modern style. The fabric, called Racine, is a soft, shimmering, ribbed velvet. Together they create a dynamic combination of fabric and furniture. The Racine covered sectional is soft, comfortable, sleek and modern.
The combination of colors and textures make this bedroom setting so inviting. The floor lamp is pretty amazing too.
Leave a comment. Let me know which of the displays is your favorite.

  2. The stunning turquoise panel in the first picture caught my eye. Then to see it picked up in the adjacent floral panel as well as the sofa and three pillows confirmed that Designer Guild knows how to "make it work for ya."

  3. I like the first and the last one. I can't decide. I love the panels of the first one, those colors are luscious, but I do love roses and quilted things.
