Hue: Papillon

CLOTH & KIND Interiors // Papillon

Fabric: Dessin Fournir's Papillon Hand Painted Silk Panels in Turquoise & Pink // Chandelier // Cups // Rug // Pillow // Photo // Angie Hranowsky Interior

Here at CLOTH & KIND, we're all presently obsessing over this stunning handmade silk fabric from Dessin Fournir called Papillon. Since you need designer credentials to enter their site and not everyone reading this may be able to do so, we wanted to share a bit more about it... Jean Papillon I, woodblock engraver and master domino maker, was the founder of the Paris Papillon workshop and brainchild behind this 18th Century movement. Papillon combines pencil drawing with watercolor painting and silk screen printing. It is available in four colorways. Isn't it a stunner?!

Clay McLaurin

Dear friend and talented surface designer Clay McLaurin's textiles have been a mainstay in CLOTH & KIND Interiors' design projects since we first started this business (and now we're loving using his newly launched wallpaper collection as well). We are absolutely mad about Clay's aesthetic... almost as much as we adore him and his partner in both life & business, Todd Piercy. They are about as kind, cool and wicked talented as people get! 

We so appreciate Clay & Todd's willingness to participate in our Wallpaper column, and hope y'all enjoy these free downloads for your tech.

John Robshaw

Here at CLOTH & KIND, we obsess over fabric, wallpaper and all things interior design. We also majorly love our tech. So we've melded these two worlds to create a new series called 'Wallpaper // Interior Design For Your Desktop' which is all about bringing our curated view of interior design to your desktop (...and laptop, smartphone & tablet). Wallpaper is a CLOTH & KIND exclusive collection of free beautiful downloadable desktop patterns designed and so graciously shared with you here by the textile & wallpaper artisans that are currently rocking our world.

Every Wallpaper download is an original fabric or wallpaper design that's available by the yard or the roll... but that also looks damn good on your screens. We've invited a handful of our all time favorite surface & pattern designers to participate and are quite literally overwhelmed by the positive response so y'all will have no shortage of eye candy on your tech, courtesy of CLOTH & KIND and friends! Have fun, change up your Wallpaper often and sign up for our emails so you know when there are new downloads in this ever growing archive of desktop pattern bliss.

Kicking off this new column in some serious style is one of our all time favorite designers, John Robshaw. John just recently launched his first ever wallpaper collection (whoo hoooo!) as well as some new Spring 2017 textiles, and as usual we dig em ALL. We've also included a few of his oldies but goodies. Check out these beauties below, download em for your tech, and be sure to head over to John's website to see them all.

Detroit Rug Restoration

Y'all know we love nothing more than supporting small businesses because these are the makers & artisans, the shopkeepers & visionaries, the heart & soul behind what keeps our communities authentic. We can think of no better example than Edmond & Angela, the brother and sister team who founded and run Detroit Rug Restoration, and were blown away when we recently visited their space on 8 Mile Road in Detroit. 

The pair's great grandfather founded DRR's sister company, Hagopian, a rug cleaning company, in 1939 but it wasn't until Edmond & Angela recognized the importance of preserving handwoven and hand-knotted rugs and the growing movement for layering vintage rugs in modern homes that Detroit Rug Restoration was born. 

Because this company is one of a very small handful of highly reputable workrooms in the country that offers specialty restoration services like re-weaving, fringe replacement, and more, they have the privilege of working on rugs from from around the world. Damn, we are fortunate to have them in our own backyard! Not only because of what kind and genuine people Edmond, Angela and their entire, wicked talented team are, but also because of their deep and vast supply of jaw-dropping antique and vintage rugs.   

“I have always thought of rugs as having life to them... Like the weaver left a little of their soul in each piece they created. Beautifully crafted rugs age a lot like people. Not better or worse, just very different over time… very human.”
— Edmond Hagopian

Detroit Rug Restoration also welcome custom requests - so if you're looking for a rug of a specific size, style or color palette give them a shout and they just may be able to track something perfect down for you. They even buy great pieces, so before you donate or toss that old rug, talk to these guys.  

Shop now and check back frequently as they are constantly refreshing their inventory (what you see online is only a very small fraction of the incredible rugs they have stacked up in their facility). Enjoy!

MORE VINTAGE RUG INSPIRATION //
We love us some vintage rugs here at CLOTH & KIND Interiors. Here are a few of our personal favorites in recent design projects. Check out our Portfolio for more and Contact Us to get something beautiful going in your own home.

Bespoke Wallpaper Collaboration with Paper Mills for Serenbe

This Thursday, September 8, 2016 marks the VIP opening (consider yourself cordially invited) of the annual Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles' Serenbe showhouse... and the debut of our first ever product design (EEEK!), a bespoke wallpaper mural based on our interpretation of a modern southern landscape, which we created in deep, soulful collaboration with one of our favorite artists & wallpaper designers, Amy Mills of Paper Mills in California. 

We cannot wait to share loads of images with y'all from the event at Serenbe later this week, and you'll certainly see it in print in the December issue of AH&L, but in the meantime please take a few moments to follow our cross-country creative collaboration journey with Amy in this absolutely lovely short film about the project. 

You can also follow along with the hashtags #serenbetextilelofts &  #clothandkindpluspapermills on Instagram but we definitely hope to see you in the flesh on Thursday night!
