From this lovely little online shop based in the UK called HOWKAPOW, I discovered the work of Eleanor Young — a Glasgow based textile designer and upholsterer who breathes new life to forgotten furniture via her studio Fun Makes Good.
From her website:
Fun Makes Good specialises in re-working previously unloved items of furniture into unique statement pieces, combining traditional techniques with a distinctive graphic aesthetic. Inspired by contemporary architectural forms and geometric shapes, Fun Makes Good combines detailed embroidery techniques with bold fragmented patterns and creative colour combinations to produce striking interior products using locally sourced, specialist wools, leathers and hand dyed cotton.
I love how her geometric patterns reminds me of Charley Harper’s work as well (albeit in a much simpler form!) You can get items like cushions, pouffes and more via her BigCartel shop or via HOWKAPOW.
it’s great to see scottish ace-ness
