I helped develop into new bedding products, including quilts in two colorways. Collaborating with the Shoppe Amber Interiors product development team and India-based vendor manglam arts, I collected key product information and developed visual assets to craft compelling imagery for both online and in-store presentations.

Interview with Hilary, Product Designer

INSPIRATION & ORIGIN:

    • What inspired the creation of the product(s)/collection?

      • Inspired by antique block printed textiles from India. 

    • Are there artists, designers, shapes, or geographical locations that played a role in shaping the product(s)/collection?

      • The Raffi quilt patterns were hand-designed by our team at Shoppe. We partnered with a team in India who printed the patterns on high-quality fabrics 

    • What is the overall narrative / what are the key descriptors and messages of the product(s)/collection?

      • Elevated floral motifs inspired by antique textiles.

      CRAFTSMANSHIP:

    • Could you share insights into the craftsmanship techniques employed in making the product(s)/collection?

      • These quilts are hand stitched by expert artisans in India.

DESIGN EVOLUTION:

    • How did the design of these pieces evolve from the initial concept to the final product(s)/collection?

      • The textile design process can be described with one word: iteration. A pattern is reworked several times before it reaches a point of locking in a strong repeating motif. 

    • Were there any unexpected challenges or breakthroughs during the design process for the product(s)/collection?

      • Executing the look of an antique textile is no small feat. There was a lot of innovation in creating texture and distressing within our artwork to give it a sun-worn, aged look.
