This piece, by Zoe Murphy, caught my eye when I saw it on the flyer for the 2009 New Designers Awards Preview.
A former printed textiles student from Loughborough University, Murphy creates imagery inspired by her seaside home town of Margate and uses it to print onto recycled interior products. For this piece, a 1950s chest of drawers has been re-veneered and adorned with drawings from the Margate seaside. Dense patterns and imagery, inspired by Formica cafés, adorn the front and the linings.
I particularly like and way Murphy uses the inspiration she takes from her home town, responding directly to a spatial environment and translating its characteristics to surface colour and pattern – translating 3D spatial features to 2D decoration.
