It’s one thing keeping the items in your house to only those that are useful – aprons, cushions, wash bags or perhaps garden deckchairs to enjoy the sunnier days ahead. But how about enjoying and (slowly) appreciating these everyday objects?
For the last ten years, print textile designer Teresa Green has engrossed herself in combining the two, with joyful, authentic hand printed designs on her range of textiles that focus on functional designs be it bread bins, tea pots, scales, taps or a flock of birds.
“I have a passion for antique kitchenallia- especially kitchen scales and ladle shaped spoons. Both grandpa’s have also fed my imagination with crammed sheds full of old garden objects and treasure – I have an obsession for elongated watering cans and apple ladders….”
As considered as the design, all the fabrics are from within the UK, and the linen that is regularly utilised within the collection comes from Ireland. No synthetic materials are used and, to reflect Green’s own way of life, all the inks for these prints are water based too.
jorg&olif particularly loves the sophisticated table linen and sturdy aprons that are perfect for any busy kitchen, as well as the natural linen purses with a balloon bird print.
In true Slow Life, when Green’s not exhibiting across the world, the young designer cycles to her old stable block studio within the village of Barrow Upon Soar in Leicestershire, UK.
