modflowers: west riding collection by sheila bownasI have written about the wonderful designs of Sheila Bownas before.

But that wasn’t the whole story. A new instalment has just emerged.

A new collection of designs from the archives of Sheila’s wonderful designs has just been brought to life…

modflowers: sheila bownas collectionFour British designer makers have come together with the Sheila Bownas Archive to launch an exclusive range of contemporary pieces for the home.

The collection commemorates what would have been Bownas’ 90th year and draws upon the newly released pattern ‘West Riding’.

The pattern is based around elements of the architecture in Linton and surrounding North Yorkshire villages, where Sheila Bownas lived and worked until her death in 2007.

All of which are spectacularly lovely…

    • All vintage designs from the Sheila Bownas archive, brought back to life by Chelsea Cefai, who bought the archive after Sheila’s death in 2007. I love the way the patterns are being integrated into such modern pieces by contemporary artists. It really makes them shine even brighter.
