'Ruffled hand-glazed ceramics, traditionally block-printed table linens, and mouthblown glassware finished with an elegant optic twist that catches the light—these textural designs may be the finishing touches for your table, but they are far from afterthoughts,' says Neptune. For its autumn collection, it's bringing texture to the table.
Lisa Armstrong, head of fashion at The Telegraph, explores the enduring synergy between fashion and accessories that inspires pieces like Neptune's new Sennen tableware. According to her there's a deep connection between fashion and home accessories. She traces back how designers have long embraced both clothing and interiors. Elsie de Wolfe and Coco Chanel pioneered the idea of beautifying life through fashion and home decor, a concept Ralph Lauren expanded with his homeware collection in 1983. Modern designers like Erdem and Roksanda continue this trend, blending fashion with interiors.
Social media and trends like 'cottage-core' have fuelled the popularity of accessorising homes with items like throws, cushions, and tableware, aligning with personal style. The resurgence of Edwardian fashion and aesthetics, influenced by shows like Peaky Blinders and exhibitions like Tate Britain's John Singer Sargent showcase, reflects how fashion and interiors draw from historical influences.
'Ultimately, perhaps, this is not about adopting a one season fad from social media, and more about the slow accretion of beloved layers – the subtle ruffled edging on Neptune's new Sennen tableware that echoes the frills of Victorian and Edwardian silk blouses, and our rekindled love for kilims, needlepoint cushions, wood panelled walls and items that don't feel perfectly finished or mass produced: a gradual gathering of objects we truly love,' she concludes.
