Neisha Crosland + Schumacher

Neisha Crosland with fabrics and trims from the Espalier collection for Schumacher

We have long admired the creativity of British surface-pattern designer Neisha Crosland, who has teamed up with Schumacher to bring her signature aesthetic to a new collection named Espalier with fabrics, trims, and wallpaper. Neisha is known for her well-balanced repeats of geometrics and flowers, unusual color combinations, and ability to design patterns for a wide range of products, techniques, and mediums. Her inspiration for this collection spans continents and mediums, from Elizabethan needlework to 16th-century Japanese kimonos to an East Persian Doroksh pictorial silk rug from 1890. We are drawn to the color combinations of the Thistle pattern—such as lavender/orange and Dijon/green. Schumacher Creative Director Dara Caponigro aptly sums up the collection as “cool but utterly disarming at the same time.” fschumacher.com
