Summary: "Internationally renowned designer Orla Kiely describes her career as 'a journey in pattern and colour'. Her distinctive palette, and graphic and stylized motifs in clean repeat constructions, have won her devoted fans across the world, and have helped to turn what began as a small British business designing bags, into a global fashion, accessories and homeware brand. Following the success of her first book, Pattern, Home opens the door on Orla's own house, looks at a series of British, Irish and Scandinavian case studies -- all beautifully photographed by Richard Powers -- reveals the mid-century modern items that have inspired her work and tracks the creation of her homeware range including furniture, textiles, wallpaper and ceramics. 'I have always been inspired by architecture and interiors so the move into furniture and homewares was completely natural', Orla says. 'To me, the home is where we can truly express our style and personality, where we can be playful'"--Page 4 of cover.
