LONDON DESIGN FESTIVAL: MARTHE ARMITAGE PRINTS
At this year’s London Design Festival, Marthe Armitage Prints is teaming up with antique dealer and design studio Sigmar to introduce Lobby, a previously unseen multi-coloured wallpaper pattern from the artist Marthe Armitage's design archive, remastered and printed for the first time on fabric. The event, taking place within the Brompton Design District, is a teaser of what’s to come in Spring 24 when the multi-coloured collection is launched.
Marthe Armitage Prints is an artisanal design company producing exclusive, hand-printed wallpapers and coordinating screen-printed fabrics from handmade linocuts. The intricate, signature designs are created by artist Marthe Armitage, at her studio in Chiswick, using the traditional technique of lino block printing. Each roll of wallpaper is then produced on a hand-operated 100-year old offset lithographic press, with the expert help of her daughter, Jo Broadhurst, herself an artist and trained architect, together with Marthe’s youngest grandson.
A 1940s Kaare Klint designer sofa upholstered in Lobby will be presented in the window of Sigmar’s gallery and studio on the King's Road. The shopfront display will be accompanied by complementary products from Marthe Armitage Prints’ wider range - including wide-width digital papers and coordinating screen printed fabrics made into limited edition cushions.
As part of the Brompton Design District’s Late Night Opening on Thursday 21 September, Marthe Armitage Prints and Sigmar will host an ‘In Conversation with’ event featuring the designer Marthe Armitage and Sigmar’s co-founder Nina Hertig.
Martha Armitage will be in Conversation with Nina Hertig on Thursday 21 September at 18:30 at Sigmar, 263 King's Rd, London SW3 5EL. Click here to book tickets.
London Design Festival is taking place from 16 - 24 September 2023.
