March 2005

Signature Prints launches the “Home Collection” of Florence Broadhurst decorator fabrics.

Signature Prints is delighted to announce its new "Home Collection" of fabrics, the result of many conversations between David Lennie, CEO of Signature Prints, and agents and customers in both the US and the UK .

Based on designs from the Florence Broadhurst Design Library, the "Home Collection" range of 38 fabrics is the first to be directly influenced by international industry comment and predictions, and reflects the designs and colours becoming fashionable throughout the world.

David Lennie describes the range as follows:

“The Cranes, Japanese Bamboo and Japanese Floral remain such strong designs – especially in New York , Boston and London – they had to be revisited. Circles and Squares along with Hessian and Slub are in the collection to become good friends with the lead designs.

The colourway ‘Bley' (a softened off-black on Tan Union cotton fabric) is the result of opinions gleaned during the Decorex trade show in London . The colours ‘Sunspot' and ‘Gypsy' are a glimpse into the future and will take some time to appeal, while ‘Sandhill' and ‘ Bengal ' are timeless.”

This exciting new range will be enthusiastically promoted by Signature Prints' newest employee, International Sales Consultant, Catherine Grossman.

With educational qualifications from New York , Bogota , Sydney and Paris, and speaking fluent Spanish, French and English (as well as a working knowledge of Italian and basic Mandarin), Catherine is a highly-talented addition to the Signature Prints team. She also has a solid background in art, antiques, interior design, fashion and luxury goods.

According to Catherine:

“The new Home Collection range, created skilfully with both vision and market research, is guaranteed to have an even greater global appeal than our other popular collections.”

The Home collection is available by the metre/yard through all of Signature Prints' distributors.

The existing colourways are Driftwood, Rouge, Light Lime, and Storm. The new colourways are Gypsy, Bengal , Bley, Sunspot, and Sandhill.
