Lorna Syson wins the Shell live wire grand ideas award I had brilliant news this month, I received the shell live wire grand ideas award for my new Eco-friendly collection. Thank you to all those that voted! A preview of the Eco-friendly collection The Eco-friendly collection is being launched during London Design week 2010. This collection is inspired by the British countryside in the springtime, looking at the shapes and colours created in the wild rural hedgerows from local plants and bushes giving the collection a sophisticated colour pallet. The cushions are all made in Britain with locally sourced and eco-friendly fabrics sponsored by Camira. The fabrics are made from a mixture of wool and stinging nettles, which are completely biodegradable and have a very low carbon footprint and also 100% recycled leathers.

Lorna Syson’s Stunning Sculptural Textiles

Written by Urban Sherp on July 9th, 2010

Who: Lorna Syson Textiles – UK

What: Wall Flowers

Where: Lorna Syson – £100 – £3999, in a variety of colors & sizes.

Why We Love It: These ‘Wall Flowers’ by textile artist Lorna Syson are anything but. We fell in love with the rich colors, the vibrancy and complete originality of these sculptural wall hangings. They truly are stunning.

Made of 100% wool, sued and silk, the textiles are screen printed or digitally printed with patterns designed by Lorna or in solid colors.  The petals are then laser cut and meticulously hand woven to create the 3-D form. One piece can take up to a week to create.

At ICFF, Lorna mentioned that her goal was to source an entirely sustainable collection by 2015. She has far surpassed that target date and will be presenting a completely ‘ec0-friendly’ collection at 100% Design in London this September – can’t wait!

For a taste of Lorna’s stunning collection with a smaller sticker price, check out her collection of accessoriesand pillows – the pillows are filled with 100% recycled wool that’s naturally resistant to dust mites, so is great for people with allergies.
