As expected,Shrimps's first foray into interiors brings upan ethereal theme - make-believe creatures, Venetian jesters and doodled faces.
Shrimps have delved into the archives for this collaboration, bringing together artworks and ideas from different seasons and past collections.
Doodle, inspired by nursery rhymes and first seen on a clutch bag as part of Shrimp’s Resort 2017 offering is now freshly translated onto embroidered rugs and cushions.
The doodle rug is hand tufted and hand-carved, giving the doodles real stand out.
Meanwhile the Viola embroidered cushion is inspired by a fabric from the SS18 collection.
A romantic trip to Venice inspired the whimsical Veneziahero print from Shrimp's SS18 collection with a festival of architecture, seashells and Venetian Jesters. Digital printing helps capture the pink watercolour from the original artwork and translate it directly onto a cotton percale base.
Then there's,of course, faux fur – one of Shrimps' brand staples. It comes in the form of Breton striped cushions, bedspreads and throws – just like the first coat founder Hannah Weiland designed.
Rugs also feature Shrimps' faces pattern.The lightweight dhurrie is handmade in India and uses a traditional screen print method to apply the signature Shrimps characters. It also looks rather striking hanging on a wall as a piece of dramatic art.
Thisis a homeware collection that is sure to breathe life into every room of your house.
Following the gorgeous deGourney x Aquazzura shoe collab, the recent H&M x JP & J Baker fashion collab and River Island's debut homeware range, the collection isfurther proof that fashion and interiors really can be a match made in heaven.
