I am attracted to, and instinctively fascinated by the simple: the beauty in a line, a brush stroke, or a drop of ink. My job is to compose these elements, by way of repetition, so that a pattern emerges. Then comes the colours. My working process is all about allowing the prints and patterns to unfold in a vibrant and artistic process Helene Blanche, Textile Designer

Stitch

We are very proud to see our fabric design Stitch and Painted Ikat in the iconic home of Danish architect Erik Christian Sørensen. The architect designed the villa for himself and his own family in 1955, and has ever since been of great modern inspiration for generations of architects. The house is a masterpiece of refinement, simplicity,  and craftsmanship. The house is today owned by Realdanias By & Byg, and has recently been carefully restored. Project by @tapetcafe.

New Fabric Colour

Bold rust and earthy tones. The name Sienna refers to its origin: An earth pigment, a deep reddish-brown, known and used in its natural form by the ancient Romans. The Silky Linen Sienna fabric possesses elegance and grace, with its refined composition of silk and linen. It adds to the feel of a warm and welcoming, yet elegant and distinct interior setting. The new colourway perfectly complements other designs found in the Helene Blanche collections such as Painted Ikat, Polka Stripe, Drop, and Painted Stripe.

Painted Ikat

New Fabric And Wallpaper Collection

Paying tribute to Kasuri, an old Japanese ikat weaving technique, the Painted Ikat Collection presented as printed fabrics and wallpaper, brings a modern look to these traditional and time-honoured skills. The artwork by Helene Blanche is original, hand painted with light brushstrokes in ink on silk – leaving the final printed collection decorative and characteristic with its defined brushstrokes. The soft abstracted ikat design, with historic and artistic references and intricate pattern, will provide for a classic and artistically refined ambience.

The Collections

Helene Blanche’s fabric and wallpaper collections are deeply rooted in their design origins. Her exploration of how a single drop of ink behaves when it meets a surface gave rise to the Drop Collection, while the study of the “perfect imperfect”, brought her to reimagine the classic stripe, resulting in the collection Painted Stripe. Her fascination with female 20th Century Danish weavers led her to investigate the relationship between a piece of hand-stitched fabric and hand-drawn dots on linen, which became the Stitch Collection. Her playful exploration of small dots on fabric yielded an observation of how a myriad of dots forms a linear stripe with a woven expression, which became the Polka Stripe collection.
