How did I get so lucky as to collaborate and design a wallpaper for Alex Monroe? It was all incredibly fortuitous...

My 'Sonia' pattern is a homage to inspiring women, from Jules Haines who commissioned it, to Sonia Delaunay herself and the mysterious girl in the painting that inspired the print.

The two most significant inspirations in my work are nature and the history of decorative design. So it felt important to honour these in the way my prints are produced.

The show hosted at Chelsea Harbour design centre is such a friendly and well curated event, it was great to be part of such a host of beautiful brands. 

"Once stripped the chair turned out to be a Victorian. Sophie's beautiful fabrics are lovely to work with and I think the Geraniums linen suits the style of this chair perfectly. The skirt hiding the legs is typical for the Victorian era as 'legs should not be seen' even on chairs!"
