Sofas & Stuff debuts latest RHS collaboration

The Royal Horticultural Society has launched its second collaboration with Sofas & Stuff.

The partnership will see a new set of RHS-inspired designs adapted for fabrics that can be used across any of the Sofas & Stuff range of sofas, chairs, beds, footstools, and cushions – or purchased as fabrics for curtains and blinds or other soft furnishing projects.

“The combination of great gardening art and design with the skill and commitment to excellence of the Sofas & Stuff craftspeople has again produced some glorious and unique fabric designs,” said RHS Licensing Manager Cathy Snow.

“The fine quality and stunning fabrics that lie at the very heart of Sofas & Stuff’s work have yet again taken inspiration from RHS Lindley Collections art to extraordinary effect.”

The RHS 23 Fabric Collection includes designs inspired by the ‘Designs for Carving’ scrapbook by renowned artist and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. For the fabrics, seven Gertrude Jekyll designs have each been produced in 10 contemporary colourways, while there’s also a new collage design centred on the flower paintings of 19th century English artist Caroline Maria Applebee.

Andrew Cussins, Founder of Sofas & Stuff, added: “The success of the RHS 22 Fabric Collection has inspired us once again to adapt for our fabrics some of the extraordinary botanical art the RHS makes available to its licensees.

“Gertrude Jekyll’s position as one of the most influential and admired of garden designers has made her a wonderful choice for this new collaboration, which we are sure will again be enthusiastically received by both homeowners and lovers of fine British craftsmanship.”

The RHS 23 Fabric Collection will launch at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show later this month.
