June 8, 2023

Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at the Rhode collection for West Elm, Morris & Co’s new performance line, and an East Hampton Gardens Garden Party. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Rhode for West Elm

By a twist of fate, Phoebe Vickers and Purna Khatau were serendipitously placed together as college roommates, only to discover that their chance encounter would blossom into an everlasting bond of friendship. Years later, their unbreakable bond laid the foundation for Rhode —a clothing brand built on the joy of getting dressed.

Drawing inspiration from the intricate charm of handmade vintage prints, each Rhode design embodies femininity and ease. Each garment becomes a cherished companion, forever ready to embark on the wildest of adventures, unencumbered by fussiness.

Since the brands inception in 2014, Rhode has become a go-to staple for it-girls and the stylish set alike. And now, the artistic duo unveils a limited-edition collection with West Elm of bedding and tableware, infused with Rhode’s signature effortlessness and splendor. Let’s take a peek!

Morris & Co

The historic and sublimely storied design house, Morris & Co, has released its first ever performance fabric line! Taking it back to their natural roots, the line is infused with Morris & Co’s iconic flora inspired patterns. The collection seamlessly combines the two fundamental elements that shaped William Morris’s creative journey in the 19th century: beauty and functionality.

Crafted in the company’s factory in Leicestershire, UK, the fabrics boast both indoor and outdoor usage, UV and water resistance, wipeable finishes, anti-microbial properties, and colorfastness. But above all, the collection is an ode to William Morris’s enchanting words, “the magnificent spectacle of the Earth—its cycles of day and night, its seasons of summer and winter.” Take a look at the collection highlights!

The garden-inspired prints are also reminiscent of William Morris’s iconic garden of Red House, his personal home located Bexleyheath, London. The Red House’s garden design held an extraordinary significance for the visionary William Morris. He believed that the house and its garden should dance hand in hand, creating a symphony of beauty and unity.
