The Tilton Fenwick Collection from Duralee brims with energy and plays off traditional images, stimulating our imagination and launching us into new color obsessions. Take a step into a fanciful world where florals are strewn onto jagged-edged stripes; portraits of peacocks are shown off in red, white and blue; and tiny clusters of tone-on-tone dots quickly turn into lady bugs or berry clusters.
Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham launched Tilton Fenwick in 2010 with an eye for turning traditional prints and colors into modern, lively design. Through their partnership with Duralee, Tilton Fenwick has skyrocketed in a very competitive market, chosen by Traditional Home Magazine Top 20 "New Traditionals" in 2011.
"Our design goal is always uncovering hidden harmonies by merging, blending and layering unexpected colors, textures and patterns,” Cunningham and Foster explain. Packed with soft, pretty colors, each book: Lipstick Poppy, Prussian Spruce and Cactus Ochre blend 130 colorful fabrics harmoniously together using stripes, paisleys, florals and solids together in soft greens, blues and pinks. Berk Rose, Dallas Multi, and Maine Mint/Red strike a similar cord while playing on opposite sides of the pattern wheel. Anne and Suysel deem Rocat, in Lapis, Cactus, Mint/Red and Multi as representing their Duralee collections' versatility, as it lends itself to become a border, trim or signature pattern in a room.
"We hope our collection will offer the Duralee customer the opportunity to create their own inspired spaces, and we can't wait to see how designers will mix and match the fabrics to create beautiful rooms of their own."
