Josef Frank

Along with Lucienne Day, Josef Frank designs are a huge source of inspiration. An architect Joseph Frank (1885-1967) created 200 patterns between 1909-1950. He moved to Sweden to work for Svenskt Tenn design team http://www.svenskttenn.se/menu.asp?LangId=2

A move from the usual

Time for a change. I am currently working on a personal collection..a move away from lingerie and sleepwear colours

Is anybody out there?....Hello!

Hello there! I am excited to start a new year and a new blog.
I am a UK based designer.
I am frantically working away on new ideas and hopefully posting them here...hot off the press. I also love finding exciting retinal delights...artists and designers who have a love of creating, many of them will appear in this blog in the not too distant future.
If you are a designer, artist or all round master of creations, who thinks your work is exciting and would love some exposure, I would love to hear from you, please contact me at Gatheringdesign@hotmail.co.uk.

In the meantime... happy creating!
