Tiāntáng huāyuán – Gardens of Heaven This collection is inspired by florals and nature, focusing on their organic and realistic qualities, and finding a way of combining them with florals that have already been experienced and captured by others in the forms of metal pieces of jewellery from Chinese culture. The collection is designed for silk woven and printed wallpaper with accompanying designs intended to be hand embroidered using silk shading and goldwork, light upholstery fabric and printed fabric. This collection of designs is for the high-end, luxury boutique hotel market for suite rooms and can be extended to dining rooms, lounges and the lobby. The collection has been designed to focus on all elements complementary to one another, enabling layering all the designs to create luxury maximalist environments for clients to rest and rejuvenate.
