designing the details perspectives CHARLESTON FLOWERS Covent Garden Hotel, London This headboard can be found in room 215 at the Covent Garden Hotel. We always call Covent Garden our grande dame because it is a typical English hotel-dripping in romance and situated on a cobblestone street in walking distance to the Royal Opera House and many London theaters. The Charleston Flowers headboard is inspired by the Bloomsbury Group and the work of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. They were the original artists of the Omega Workshops that opened at the beginning of the 20th century. Started by Roger Fry (who brought the first post-Impressionist art exhibition to London), they have been rich pickings for inspiration, and their color palette looks perfect through the English light. This headboard-our Ruby design-is divided into three panels. Leather outlines the Bloomsbury flowers trailing down the panels of the headboard. Alex Sherman used a technique of reverse appliqué to stitch them onto my Lost and Found fabric, which is inspired by Vanessa Bell's abstract paintings. 090 November 2019 hospitalitydesign.comhttp://www.hospitalitydesign.com
