Naked & Angry Does Wallpaper

I posted about Naked & Angry before during their Series One which featured neckties made from user submitted patterns. Patterns are submitted and then voted upon by the community to then be made into products. (They are affiliated with Threadless.) The first series featured limited-edition neckties and the second series, which just came out, features hand-screened wallpaper. Gorgeous. Anyone looking for a great source, look no further. There are five patterns to choose from, my two top favorites are above. Lovely stuff. (via Outblush)

Heavenly Scales by Richard Lee. Old Timey Tiley by Ray Fenwick. $60 for one double roll of hand-screened paper that covers 65 square feet.

Bari Zaki’s Envelopes

While leafing through the September books I came across these great envelopes. Bari Zaki has affixed vintage postage to her envelopes that are completely mailable with no additional postage required. Each envelope is one-of-a-kind… the ones shown are examples of what one might recieve. The envelopes themselves are reproductions of various envelopes she herself has received. Such a wonderful idea for distinctive correspondence!

Large Bureau de Poste, $10 for one envelope with card and mailing label at Greer Chicago. Also available in a smaller size for $8.

Osborne & Little

Grace posted about Osborne & Little today and I totally was feeling the patterns she was showing. When I visited the site I was happy to see tons of patterns available in varying styles and colorways in textiles and wallcoverings. I also love the furniture by Michael Reeves… oh, so lovely.

Zaria and Iola textiles shown with Mandara and Pera Trail wallpapers. Wilde Carnation is one of eight revolutionary designs in the Osborne & Little catalogue, this one returns in new colors.

Missoni Home

Hands down nothing got me more giddy than seeing the Missoni Home display at ICFF. The Missoni palette is one of my absolute favorites and seeing it translated to textiles for the home excited me. The items in person are so vivid and although it feels busy it somehow just works. Some of what is available for 2006 is bedding, bath, art rugs and tabletop items.

The Rug Company

Loved the display at ICFF for The Rug Company and was enjoying the fact that a lot of great fashion designers were featured. The Rug Company features an extensive list of designers from Diane von Furstenberg and Marni to Matthew Williamson and Vivienne Westwood, each offering gorgeous designs in their own signature style.

Abbott Miller for Knoll

I saw the above textile designs on Meg’s Designer’s Library and loved them so much. These textiles are from Knoll as part of Abbott Miller‘s Grammar Collection. Totally beautiful typographic forms comprise these wonderfully textured patterns.

Merge, $16/yd. Filter, $15/yd. Switch, $15/yd.
