25cm empire printed cotton shade in pink 'poppies' by ellen merchant see dimensions

A close second in our "Shades of Brilliance" competition for young, emerging designers. The judges (interiors superheroes Beata Heuman and Matthew Williamson) recognised it for the intricacy and subtlety of its floral theme, and its contemporary take on the Arts and Crafts style. Many congratulations to Ellen Merchant. Printed on cotton, gathered and taped.
