Fab Collabs!
Fun collaborations to brighten up your spring.
Rebecca Moses x Momentum
Artist, fashion designer, and illustrator Rebecca Moses has created a new collection of wallcoverings with Momentum Textiles & Wallcoverings. Moses’s art celebrates individuality, femininity, and diversity. The collection is based on two of her painted women: The Queen and Kimono Lady. The deconstructed elements in the collection are opportunities for designers to create new moods and narratives by mixing and matching styles. “Each of us has a backstory,” Moses explains. “What I’m doing with Momentum is allowing people to look at the beauty within each person, as well as the power within them. By championing ourselves and our own individuality, we’re helping designers to break boundaries and create commercial spaces that tell stories about the beauty of mixing things up.”
Thomas O’Brien x Visual Comfort & Co.
Thomas O’Brien founded his firm Aero in 1992, and his work is celebrated for using the elements of modern design and crafting a new vernacular of warm, functional, and livable style. His continued collaboration with Visual Comfort & Co. exemplifies this aesthetic. The newest entry into the ever-growing collection is the Academy Barn Light Series, inspired by the industrial lighting historically used to illuminate barns, town halls, warehouses, and schoolhouses. The series pays tribute to the utilitarian elegance of American, British, and French architectural lighting, but reimagined in O’Brien’s unique, modern sensibility. The collection comes in a broad range of profiles, materials, and finishes, and can be used indoors and out.
