Heal’s collaborates with emerging artists to launch 1810 collection
Heal’s has announced a collaboration with emerging artists to launch its new 1810 collection. The brand commissioned three emerging UK artists to create new Heal’s 1810 designs for spring/summer 2015. UK artists include Claire de Quénetain and the creative duo Danny Augustine and Adam Bridgland, all graduates from the Royal College of Art, London (RCA). French-born Claire de Quénetain, with an MA in Printed Textiles, created Le Jardin D’ete. The design depicts a hand-drawn floral pattern, digitally printed onto fabrics, cushions, kitchen textiles, trays and hand-painted onto tableware with prices starting at £10. London-based duo Danny Augustine and Adam Bridgland, also with MA’s in Fine Art Printmaking, have created a collection of large mono print works exploring themes of lust and love, by painting directly onto the screen print mesh before printing. The duo have created an exclusive series of abstract, hand-painted floral prints which spans both the mediums of print and painting. As the artists paint directly onto the screen mesh, there is only one original for each design created. The exclusive prints by Augustine and Bridgland are available on a selection of cushions for Heal’s 1810 with prices starting at £45.
