Artist and illustrator Quentin Jones is a name to know in the fashion and art world thanks to her collaborations with Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Victoria Beckham. Now you can buy a piece of her art for your home…
British illustrator and mixed-media artist, Quentin Jones studied philosophy at Cambridge before enrolling on an illustration course at Central Saint Martins and working with fashion brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Victoria Beckham.
Her Habitat collection arrives online and in stores today, and is a collection of artworks re-imagined across textiles for the home.
She says of the collaboration: “My artworks are often very layered with a mix of photography, painting and moving image - it doesn’t translate obviously in to interior pieces. But I have a strong sense for how I like my home’s interiors to be, which sits as the under-pinning to lots of my work that hangs on the walls. I love simple monochromatic, and primary palettes that echo the Bauhaus and Constructivism. I am drawn to bold graphic shapes, with minimal fuss which might be from having grown up in the house of two architect parents, who were keen minimalists”.
Here are our favourite pieces…
Antrausic rug
Structured typography and bold primary colours are collaged together in Quentin’s signature style on the Antrausic rug.
Wordpool hand carved rug
Hidden typographic letters have been individually hand carved to make this rug; hand scissors are used to create different height layers within the design, giving it extra definition and a slightly 3D effect.
Eye-Eye, My Love rug
Shapes and elements of the human face become a central motif on the iconic Eye-Eye, My Love rug.
Eye-Eye 1 cushion
Bring your sofa to life with this personality-filled cushion set; painterly brushstrokes and a cobalt blue iris make up one of two striking eye-themed cushions.
Eye-Eye 2 cushion
A knowing wink is playful and statement-making.
My Love Embroidered Cushion
The My Love cushion collages together a hand painted heart and minimal typography.
Tunnel Vision Embroidered Cushion
A playful hand-painted eye is superimposed onto incomprehensible wording with the tunnel vision cushion.
