Cheerful Furniture Patchwork
Once I became interested in such a fun quilt technique as patchwork. And even tried to do something like that. To my surprise, the first attempt was not a success, was a very nice quilt even a picture that is almost more "cushy" begged my very first guest coming to tea. While more spirit to repeat this feat I have not plucked up, but interest in this type of needlework periodically erupts with renewed vigor.
Apparently, therefore, not able to go past here this furniture, which stumbled on the website of Squint Limited (Skvint Limited). Its founder was a talented British designer Lisa Whatmough (Lisa Uotmauf), engaged in painting and sculpture, and textiles, addicting, and home furnishings. The company began operating in London in 2005, the year. At the same time and opened a boutique company.
With a rich collection of fabrics, and in addition, the presence at its disposal several copies of antique furniture, artist came up with the idea of creating extraordinary interior. The designer combines their passions. As a result, has found a way how, based on a framework of furniture, mostly antique, creating extraordinary, vibrant, positive, modern things.
Most of the word "patchwork" an association with quilted blankets grandmother. It is interesting that this technique was initially sewing arose from considerations of economy. But time passed and it became clear that the crisis is the crisis came to light as nothing more than a new fashion trend in art.
Things done in this style popular to this day. They are functional, attractive and, most importantly, allow you to emphasize the individuality of its owner. And the technique of patchwork can be anywhere, just to imagine.
Lisa Uotmauf began to create fabrics of different patches, but not limited to blankets and quilts, and was using them as upholstery for a variety of furniture, and, as a stylized "antique", and quite modern.
The result is amazing, you could even say extraordinary things to create each of which takes about twelve to fourteen weeks, as used in their manufacture manual labor.
Of course, this style may be, will appeal not for everyone. As the saying goes, "every man to his own taste ..."
However, elements of patchwork can fit not only in her grandmother's room, but would be appropriate and in the nursery, and in the kitchen and bedroom, and even in the living room.
Using this style, the main thing - do not overdo it, but it should be noted that even a single instance of the collection of the designer is able to change any interior, adding a bright and joyful mood.
For example, a piece of furniture can be a "highlight" of the room, whose style has been maintained in strict ascetic style of hi-tech.
Sofa, upholstered which contains dozens of different patches, never be left without attention, drawing the attention of visitors. And who could deny himself the pleasure to sit or lie down on the couch and then the original "meditate," considering how to combine and intertwine a variety of textures and patterns ...
Stand, however, these unique designer clothes cheap.
But this may, in some way, want to have a spur similar items podvignuv their own creativity.
Products can be manufactured in two ways. One of them - application, when the monotonous base sewn colored rags, joined in song, the other - quilting, when all the product is sewn from different patches.
In order to make new upholstery for chairs or sofas, it is necessary to remove the old one, which will serve as a pattern. Patches should be chosen close to the thickness and texture.
You can try, for example, to perform for the start of the patchwork upholstery of a small padded stools, and if used in selecting the pieces of fabric the same color as the color in the interior, the thing will fit in the room is quite harmonious.
Incidentally, in the same style and you can decorate the walls. As a patchwork wallpaper is better to use non-woven wallpaper keep in shape.
