NEWS RELEASE - FABRIC from Options 11 Collection, Sanderson, Goodrich

In January 2013, Sanderson launched a new Designer Options collection, Options 11. The Designer Options series has been going on for 31 years with the first Options collection launched in 1982.

The OPTIONS 11 collection was created by three well know British designers, a renowned Italian designer and three designers from the Sanderson studio. The designs include contemporary, classic Indiennes and fresh florals, all presented in co-ordinated schemes.

There are a total of eleven designs in jubilant colours:

Jubilee Square was originally painted in the 1950’s by Wendy Bray, who recognising the recent interest in retro design brought her portfolio out of storage. It is a whimsical street scene using images of her long-time family home and dolls house with park benches, trees, lampposts and dogs. It is printed on brushed cotton in three colourways and is suitable for upholstery and curtains.

Apples & Pears designed by Claire Hart was inspired by the fruit motifs in Morning View. It is a simple arrangement of halved fruits in two colourways and printed on cotton.

Sussex Downs was created by Jenny Frean and is inspired by the countryside around her home, a subject she often draws on. The line illustrations are spontaneously sketched, depicting trees, hedgerows and scattered dwellings. It is available on unbleached linen union in two colours and fine cotton voile in one colourway.

Varese was designed by Giacomo Barzaghi. It was painted using an unusual technique which lets the paint bleed creating a blurred, unfocused effect. Abstract flower motifs have been coloured in contemporary combinations including rich berry tones, indigos and charcoal. It is digitally printed on cotton satin in four colourways, suitable for curtains and upholstery.

Maple was designed by Fiona Howard. Areas of flat colour are juxtaposed with bold abstract leaf shapes and etched marks to create a contemporary and graphic image. It is printed on slub cotton in four colourways, suitable for upholstery & curtains

Spring Flowers, designed by Alison Gee, has been painted in a loose watercolour style with subtle tonal effects that are reproduced in the print. It shows a mix of spring flowers including hyacinths and anemones. It is printed on linen/ viscose in four colourways

Ranee, also designed by Alison Gee, is adapted from an Indian embroidery and is painted to imitate a delicate chain stitch. It shows a classic trail with stylized birds and is printed in three colourways on slub cotton.

Fantasy Garden was designed by Helen Sydney and is a contemporary interpretation of a tree of life printed on slub cotton in three colourways.
