We love our Sunday Morning New York Times! @Nytimes - Especially today-- #repost via @tmagazine Uninterested in disciplined minimalism, the designers @FranHickman, @MartinBrudnizki, @BeataHeuman, @RitaKonig, @LukeEdwardHall and Rifat Ozbek (@rifat_ozbek) are championing England’s long-held preference for color, wit and wackiness. The English have long prized ecumenical, brightly colored cheekiness — not merely in their conversation but also in their surroundings. It was the British, for example, who took paisley, the rain-drop-shaped iconography that originated in Iran in the 14th century, and made an industry from it; the Scottish town that gave it its Western name based an entire 18th- and 19th-century economy on shawls and textiles woven with the pattern. In the mid-1800s, the influence of pale, late neo-Classicism and Empire style gave way to dark-hued Victorian embellishment, which was later followed by a period of Edwardian restraint. But what followed, in the beginning of the 20th century, was a blossoming of the worldly eccentricity we now associate with magpie English design.
