designing the details perspectives TREE OF LIFE The Whitby Hotel, New York We worked with Natasha Hulse once again to help craft the master bedroom in the Whitby suite. The space comes alive with her exquisitely hand-embroidered headboard. The height adds excitement, while its vibrant colors and textures create a dramatic palette. Cushions in the vivid green of Seema Krish's handblocked and embroidered Juhu fabric marry with Hulse's bespoke and appliquéd headboard. It is a magnificent Tree of Life design with 084 November 2019 hospitalitydesign.com little beads sewn onto the leaves, appliqué butterflies, and 3D centers on the flowers. These tiny details bring the room to life and show a true skill in the craft. You can almost imagine the artisan's hands working over the fabric-it's all in the details. Natasha was at school with my daughter Minnie, and it has been a pleasure to watch her grow into an accomplished designer. This is one of the joys of my job, watching the progress of talented designers and artists who have grown up around me. It is like watching a beautiful butterfly emerge from its chrysalis.http://www.hospitalitydesign.com
