Billy Idol’s Bold New Collection Blends Art Deco and Nautical Glamour
American designer Billy Idol has teamed up with Soane Britain to create a stunning collection that merges art deco opulence with a nautical twist. The range comprises 23 fabric and wallpaper drawings and 21 furniture and lighting pieces, pushing the boundaries of traditional design.
Idol, known for his innovative use of materials, has crafted the 'Palomar' lighting series. These pieces feature a tubular brass body, reminiscent of naval telescopes, demonstrating his ability to blend functionality with aesthetics.
The collection boasts several standout pieces, including the 'Collins' oak table. This table showcases a leather band and brass rivets, evoking a sense of maritime cotton. Meanwhile, the 'Aquinnah' rattan lounge and dining chairs offer a comfortable yet stylish seating option, perfect for any space.
Idol's antique textile collection served as inspiration for the collection's patterned fabrics and wallcoverings. One notable pattern, 'Tack Stitch', was even licensed from a heritage textile maker in Bavaria, adding a touch of historical art to the range.
The Billy Idol for Soane Britain collection is a testament to the power of collaboration. It combines Idol's innovative design approach with Soane's renowned craftsmanship, resulting in a collection that is both unique and timeless. With its art deco glamour and nautical feel, this range is sure to make a statement in any interior.
