I read an article titled “colour my world” sometime in the late 90’s and I have kept it all this time as it is what inspired me to become a Designer. I have photocopies of it , I love it that much and infact one is stuck on a canvas on the wall of my office, I will take a photo one of these days to upload it as it is very dear to me.

The article is about a Spanish designer (of so so many things) called Agatha Ruiz De La Prada and her apartment which is the wildest most cheerful technicolour creative spasm inducing homes I have ever come across STILL to this day. Imagine red and white polka dots over walls & curtains then climbing up over random pieces of furniture, a bright turquoise floor teamed with punches of bright magenta pink , acid yellow and lime green. I think the article references is as a place that Andy Warhol would feel quite at home, an  “assault on the senses” and describes the effect it has on you as being akin to “spending an afternoon crashed out in the children’s playground at ikea”.  Here are snippets of her website and fashion lines which should give you an idea of what I am talking about. It is pure design porn to me and I love it all. Whenever I feel uninspired I look at this article and think back to being a teenager wanting to take on the design world and it gets me right back on track again. 😀In tribute to this fabulous woman and even more fabulous apartment I have collected some of my favourite coloured furniture bits and pieces.  “Let there be colour!” yes indeed, let there be lots.
