Inspired by
nature’s vast beauty, artisanal British cloth and exquisite craftsmanship,
Iona combines her passions for fine art and design to create a timeless yet
directional aesthetic. Since the launch of her brand, Iona has enjoyed
success internationally, showing her fashion and interiors collections in
Paris, Tokyo, London, Beijing and New York. Collectors of her paintings span the globe. Scot
tish landscape and natural
environment feature throughout various collections as an organic
extension of Iona's upbringing on a farm in rural Stirlingshire. Each
painterly print is derived from an original artwork, conjured up on location
and subsequently translated within her townhouse Atelier in Glasgow's
leafy west end. This direct translation from concept to cloth, wall-covering
and furnishing ensures the expressive style and depth of character is
vivid. Whilst Iona's painterly prints are directional and cement a unique design
identity, a harmonious balance is struck between her vibrant, often
satirical use of print and their pairing with rich and tonal fabrics. The
combination and contrast of each element results in distinctive, innovative
collections which lend themselves to a plethora of interior spaces. Iona
designs both by bespoke commission on specific projects as well as
releasing seasonal collections under the Iona Crawford ATELIER brand. www.ionacrawford.com
