Bold and Beautiful: Screen Printed Designs from Bonnie and Neil

July 26, 2013

In 2010, Bonnie Ashley, whose background includes floral and textile design as well as printing, and Neil Downie, a furniture designer, launched Bonnie and Neil, an original collection of vivid accents for the home. Sporting bold graphics–strong geometrics, and lush florals–in vibrant hues, Bonnie and Neil’s collections conjure images of exotic spaces and sun-baked lands. From cushions, bed and table linens, to timber wall tiles, each piece is hand made and printed, using all natural materials, at their Brunswick studio. N.B.: Several of their designs are available at Anthropologie in the US.

Subtle variations resulting from Bonnie and Neil’s process of hand-printing with water-based dyes onto natural fabrics renders each Cushion wholly unique; $125 each.
