Irish Designer Orla Kiely Launches a Retro Homewares Collection
Tia Clarke — March 31, 2013 — Art & Design
Irish designer Orla Kiely has just launched a new line of homewares that are inspired by her favorite decade: the sixties. The deliciously retro designs of the modular pieces make them stand out from most furniture designs on the market today.
In subdued shades of mossy greens, burnt oranges, stark whites and natural walnut, the designer has created a range that will excite fans of her classic clothing and handbag designs. The collection features adorable sofas, sideboards, stackable chairs, nesting coffee tables, bookshelves and desks.
Some of the pieces of furniture in the ‘House’ collection feature Kiely’s trademark repeated petal design. This exclusive collection is available to order from the Orla Kiely store in Monmouth Street, Convent Garden.
