GATHER ROUND

Inspired by Japanese styles and techniques, Ando is Birdie Fortescue’s most ambitious collection yet. With a subtle, Eastern feel, Ando means peace, comfort and calm, which perfectly sums up the reflective quality of these timeless designs, which include tableware, textiles, furniture andlighting. Soft, trailing florals, printed stripes and small-scale geometrics are offset by woven textures and lacquered finishes. The rich tones in berry red, mossy green and deep blues are accented by on-trend sandy tones and rust brown. As ever, Birdie’s designs feel rich in heritage, span the seasons, and work well in both modern and traditional schemes.
