NY NOW GIFT SHOW GREATS: HARMONY IN CHAOS- THE BOLD ECLECTIC MIXED PRINTS FROM AUSTRALIA'S BONNIE AND NEIL


The designs from Australian newcomers, designers and partners Bonnie Ashley and Neil Downie are carefree and fun. Sun-saturated bright prints with an artisanal touch are inspired by the flora and fauna of their native lands.  The duo, Bonnie and Neil combines Ashley's floral arranging skills with Downie's love of Australian culture, and  provides a fresh take on hand screen printing and watercolor prints with just the right dose of playfulness that comes across in their pillows, bedding, kitchen towels and ceramics. Well-known through Australia and Europe since they began in 2010, they are poised to make a big impact here. You can find their designs at Anthropologie and additional small boutiques.

Mix and match florals and geometrics with pop.
