Matthew Williamson has designed a capsule furniture collection ‘Kaleidoscope’ featuring four new and exclusive hand painted silk textile designs for British furniture brand, ROOME LONDON, which will see the designer’s prints on furniture shapes such as cabinets, screens and sideboards for the first time, launching in February 2021.

The six-piece collection includes a bespoke drinks cabinet, statement chest of drawers, side tables and a decorative screen that displays four exclusive prints which have been created for the collection by the designer from original paintings translated onto luxurious fabric.  Inspiration for the print designs were derived from Matthew’s travels, the rugged nature that surrounds his home in Cala Deia, Mallorca and his textile archive, which has been amassed over his successful 20-year design career. The other three designs are Mathew Williamson’s most iconic and popular prints, which have been reimagined in new colours.

“I wanted to work with a new medium to use within my interior design work, so this collaboration with ROOME LONDON was a dream project for me.  I love ROOME’s pared back, elegant and practical shapes as they provide the perfect backdrop to showcase my printed designs.I’d like to think there’s something for everyone in this exclusive collection. The pieces will appeal to lovers of colour, pattern and art looking to create a unique space with high impact and original designs. People looking for well-designed statement pieces to add to their space. ” Matthew Williamson.

“Laura Allnatt, co-founder ROOME LONDON added, “Matthew Williamson is a master of print, embellishment, kaleidoscopic colour and attention to detail. This collection reflects a refined yet spirited sense of glamour inspired by global and artistic influences and perfectly demonstrates our commitment to designing furniture that celebrates the simplicity and elegance of shape patterned with beautiful materiality and expert British making.”
