Donna Wilson’s artistic interpretation breathes life into traditional motifs, beautifully weaving together the essence of Fogo Island’s unique cultural tapestry. Through scenes reminiscent of Toile de Jouy, this design invites you to immerse yourself in the captivating stories and heritage of Fogo Island, creating a harmonious fusion of classic elegance and Newfoundland’s coastal charm. A fabric rich in storytelling and charm, Set the Scene is a whimsical celebration of Fogo Island life, illustrated by Donna Wilson in collaboration with the Fogo Island Workshops. This printed wide-width fabric captures a tapestry of island imagery, boats, saltbox houses, trees, and animals, each framed like a keepsake within a repeating medallion motif. Crafted for both character and versatility, the design brings a hand-drawn, almost folkloric feel to interiors, perfect for drapery, light upholstery, or feature panels. Whether used in contemporary or traditional spaces, this fabric invites warmth, narrative, and a unique sense of place into the home.

Designer: Donna Wilson / Fogo Island Workshops

THE INSPIRATION

The collaboration blossomed from shared values uniting Christopher Farr Cloth and the Fogo Island team, under the guidance of Zita Cobb, the visionary founder of Shorefast, the overarching charity for Fogo Island Inn, Fogo Island Workshops, and Fogo Island Fish. These designs embody a profound respect for Newfoundland’s cultural tapestry and history, underscored by an unwavering commitment to sustainability and community well-being.

Christopher Farr Cloth has artfully reimagined, with the guidance of Ernst Hupel, Design Strategist at Fogo Island Workshops, four original designs, initially conceived to adorn the walls of the Fogo Island Inn, into a mesmerising new collection. Titled “Make Fish,” “Island Atmosphere,” “Set the Scene,” and “We Sailed Away,” these designs encapsulate the spirit of Fogo Island’s rich heritage and its awe-inspiring landscapes.

This collection pays homage to the historical significance of wallpaper in Newfoundland. Originally employed to ward off the chill in uninsulated homes, wallpaper evolved into a cultural emblem and a source of comfort. Christopher Farr Cloth reverently nods to this tradition, seamlessly blending it with contemporary flair in collaboration with Fogo Island Workshops.
