SPOTLIGHT ON…

Blended To Perfection

One of Britain’s most important ceramics collections inspired chic new table linens by artist Rory Hutton and homeware brand Nara Cambridge. Tablecloths, napkins and tea towels are adorned with 18th-century teapots from The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. Rory is known for his intricate linocuts and block-printed designs which grace silk scarves and other fine items for elite brands. Nara Cambridge founder Alexandra Bishop translated his signature style for this covetable new collection. She says: “Hand-block printing is a very physical process which gives unpredictable results, but the imperfections add a painterly quality and are what makes this collection so charming.” roryhutton.co.uk; nara-cambridge.com
