Last month lucky iscd Team Members Prue, Luke and Elodie went along to the launch of 'From the Land' at the National Art Gallery of NSW. 'From the Land' features Julie Paterson, the designer from Cloth Fabrics collaborating with one of Australia's leading brands, Porter's Paints, to create a new range of bold geometric wallpapers in earthy, natural colours. Cloth's collection will join other prestigious designers, Catherine Martin, Bowie and Bholu in the wallpaper design series "Designers for Porter's Paints".

Paterson has developed six designs from her current range of fabrics, representing a body of work that spans the past 14 years, inspired by the Australian landscape. She says "I always design for longevity. Each design has a story to tell and a reason for being in existence. I am interested in everyday experiences that might define, in a small way, how is it to live in this country at this moment, in simple and direct ways."

The designs, Scratchy, Looking For Water, Abstract, Stoney, Boardwalk and Spotcheck all refer in their own way to Paterson's ongoing fascination with the Australian landscape, both urban and rural. The colours are restrained; the motifs are simple and pared back, allowing the wallpapers to hang in harmony with cloth's range, adding a fresh and natural mix to the growing collection of wallpapers available at Porter's Paints.

About the collaboration "I enjoy the collaborative process with Porter's and forging relationships with likeminded companies. We both work in responsible ways, with products all made with care, by hand, and locally." says Paterson.
