To celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, the house of Christopher Farr Cloth has reimagined a design from the archive of renowned designer Michael Szell. The unique design called Richmond is inspired by an original textile design that Szell, a Royal Warrant holder, created during his tenure as an interior designer for members of the British Royal Family. The new Richmond fabric is presented in four contemporary hues, Aqua, Dark Indigo, Hot Pink and Peach. It is printed at the same family-owned printers, in West London, that Szell worked with on the original material.

Time Teller, is based on fabrics found in the tents of desert travellers, with a touch of modern flair. Kemp explains “Time Teller is deeply romantic to me, and I am looking forward to wrapping it around walls to give an embracing effect. The name comes from a timelessness and forgetfulness of time itself.”

Triangulated Intaglios VI’ was part of Anni’s later period of works. The design was created in the 1970s and had a geometric purity that only Albers could have achieved. Emulating the same purity in a textile form was a challenge, but by increasing the scale of the design of the woven pattern, we were able to mimic the same crispness of line as found in the original work.
