Lost Kingdom began with a simple question:
what would grow in a place left entirely to itself?
An imagined landscape, untouched and overgrown, where everything follows its own logic. From that starting point, the work developed into a world of invented flora,shapes rooted in nature but pushed further through instinct. Familiar at first glance, but impossible on closer inspection.
As the work moved into fabric, the compositions took on a different role.
They are no longer just observed, hey are lived with.
Drawings of leaves and petals build into dense, layered surfaces that wrap around a space. On upholstery, the pattern holds its structure. On curtains, it shifts with the light. The colour creates depth that changes throughout the day, revealing and softening in different ways.
These fabrics are designed to carry weight within a room. They don’t sit quietly in the background, they define the atmosphere.
Within the wider collection, the botanical studies offer a point of contrast. More contained, more precise. Used differently, they bring moments of clarity against the richness of the larger patterns.
That tension, between wildness and control, density and restraint,becomes something physical in fabric. It’s not just visual anymore. It shapes how a space feels.
This chapter continues the shift in how I work. Not isolated designs, but pieces that exist within a larger world able to stand alone, but stronger when layered together.
Lost Kingdom is designed to be lived with.
And it continues to evolve.
