WE ARE MOVING!

Sorry for the lack of posts...that time of the year.
On top of that we are moving!!!!


 After 11 plus years in our current location, A Blind Pash Interiors is on the move!

 With my current building scheduled for redevelopment, it seemed opportune to make the move to a new studio, in a busier location.  From the 2nd December 2013, we will be located at:

 
415 Hampton Street

Hampton VIC 3188

 
These premises were previously occupied for the last 18 years by Alexandra Keys – Interior Decorators and another decorator prior to that, so I’m excited to continue the tradition.

 
I have taken on Alexandra’s fabric and wallpaper sampling, so I will have a very extensive, fabric library. Alexandra is moving to Tasmania to have a life change, so it was the perfect opportunity for A Blind Pash Interiors. Our new details are:


 Address:         415 Hampton Street

  Hampton VIC 3188

 

Phone:                        03 9521 8291                 Fax:                  03 9521 8291

 

Email:             info@ablindpash.com.au

 

Mobile:           0425 722 948

 

I look forward to welcoming you to the new studio and continuing to work with you in 2014.

 

With best wishes
 
Kris

Indigo - Aboubakar Fofana



 
Last week, I had the pleasure of being introduced to Aboubakar Fofana @ Hermon and Hermon. The evening was hosted by Neale Whitaker and was a Q&A regarding Aboubakar's lifework, Indigo dyeing.
It was fascinating and inspirational.
 
Mali born and based, indigo artist Aboubakar Fofana is on a quest to preserve and restore his native country’s once popular art of indigo and vegetable dyeing. Driven by a passion to maintain his country’s cultural heritage, Fofana travels the globe teaching his craft and showing his pieces of contemporary art created using ancient techniques.

Metropolis @ Mokum

Last night was the Melbourne launch of the latest collection from Mokum, designed by Catherine Martin.

Called Metropolis and born while she was researching the Deco period for The Great Gatsby, and is Martin’s second collection with Mokum,

Metropolis captures not only the rich decorative nature of Art Deco but also its geometric modernism with two luxurious velvets, Charleston Pearls which were all fashionable in the Deco period.

The collection is made complete with five sumptuous coordinating wallpapers utilizing diverse printing techniques and multiple substrates. These include metallic inks and foil alongside textured surface prints, printed onto both paper and non-woven substrates, capturing this luxurious and spirited era.
Here are some snap's I took last night.
