GEORGE SPENCER DESIGNS IS A MEASURED VOICE WITHIN BRITAIN’S STORIED TEXTILE TRADITION, WHERE HERITAGE CRAFT MEETS A CONTEMPORARY SENSIBILITY. FOUNDED IN POSTWAR LONDON, THE STUDIO HAS REFINED A LANGUAGE OF PATTERN PAINTERLY FLORALS, TAILORED GEOMETRICS, AND CALIBRATED PLAINS GUIDED BY AN INTUITIVE SENSE OF SPACE, PROPORTION, AND ATMOSPHERE. ROOTED IN CLASSICAL REFERENCES YET QUIETLY MODERN IN PALETTE AND SCALE, THE COLLECTIONS FEEL TIMELESS YET RESONANT TODAY.
MANY DESIGNS REMAIN HAND BLOCK PRINTED IN THE UK, IMPARTING A SUBTLE IRREGULARITY AND DEPTH THAT UNDERSCORES THE ENDURING VALUE OF THE HUMAN HAND, WHILE THOUGHTFUL COLLABORATIONS WITH ARTISTS, INCLUDING CHRISTOPHER HODSOLL, OFFER A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE STUDIO’S RICH ARCHIVE.
CAPRIC COLLECT THE CORN TION
THE ART OF GRACIE
FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, GRACIE STUDIO HAS SHAPED INTERIORS THROUGH HANDPAINTED WALLCOVERINGS, TRANSLATING CENTURIES-OLD PAINTING TRADITIONS INTO CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL SETTINGS FOUNDED IN 1898, THE STORIED ATELIER INTRODUCED AMERICAN INTERIORS TO ASIANINSPIRED PANORAMAS, DRAWING FROM CHINESE AND JAPANESE PAINTING TRADITIONS AND REIMAGINING THEM FOR MODERN LIVING WHERE WALLS BECOME IMMERSIVE NARRATIVES RATHER THAN MERE SURFACES.
EACH BESPOKE COMPOSITION IS PAINTED ENTIRELY BY HAND, PANEL BY PANEL, ALLOWING LANDSCAPES, FLORALS, AND MOTIFS TO UNFOLD WITH DEPTH AND MOVEMENT ACROSS SILK, PAPER, AND GRASSCLOTH. SUBTLE SHIFTS IN SCALE, BRUSHWORK, AND PERSPECTIVE CREATE SCENES THAT FEEL BOTH EXPANSIVE AND INTIMATE, REVEALING THEIR BEAUTY GRADUALLY THROUGH LIGHT, SHADOW, AND ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXT. WOVEN WITH NARRATIVE AND ARTISTRY, THE DESIGNS ARE IMMERSIVE YET REFINED
STILL UNDER THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE GRACIE FAMILY, THE STUDIO PRESERVES THE INTEGRITY OF ITS CRAFT WHILE ALLOWING IT TO EVOLVE FOR CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS THE RESULT IS A RARE CONTINUITY OF HISTORY, ARTISTRY, AND ENDURING RELEVANCE A LIVING LINEAGE OF HANDPAINTED CRAFTSMANSHIP.
1 | Peter Marino’s collaboration with Rubelli reveals the architect as artist, translating emotion, history, and architectural nuance into expressive textiles. His inaugura collection is a love letter to Venice, weaving light, wate and Gianbattista Tiepolo’s palette into a refined capsule
2 | Quietly sculptural, the Slade Swivel Lounge Chai from Troscan balances architectural clarity with relaxed comfort. Its tailored form and fluid swivel base create a composed presence designed for lingering
4 | Hand-knotted by master artisans, the Infra rug by Atelier Agahzadeh reveals subtle interplay of texture and nuance in a refined, elemental composition. Its abstract weave creates a sculptural foundation with understated presence
5 | Jonathan Browning Studio’s Corniche Circular Chandelier is handmachined from solid brass and finished in a warm patina, shaping craftsmanship into a softly luminous form. Diffused through ivory silk shades, its generous scale reads as quietly sculptural and restrained.
6 | Inspired by a vintage embroidery, Peter Dunham’s Sunflower Collection balances timeless charm with fresh botanical energy. Rendered as grasscloth wallcoverings and a climbing linen print, the designs reflect Dunham’s romantic, expressive approach to pattern.
