And we are officially back to the grind! We hope everyone had a lovely and rest-filled festive break. Let us kick off our first day back at the office by sharing some more snaps of our most recent projects, shall we? . Other than the reupholstered chair with the tribal-like monochromatic embroidered fabrics, another anchor element in our client's chic African-inspired apartment was the scatter cushions. She desired a whole pile of scatters for her hand-carved wooden bed from Ethiopia - all done in mud cloth. Mud cloth is a handmade cotton fabric from Mali traditionally dyed with fermented mud. The more contemporary versions feature black and white geometric patterns and motifs. We sourced some genuine contemporary Malian mud cloth fabric (not an easy find) and threw a couple of mud cloth-inspired cushions from local retailers into the mix. Each of the scatters had to be a different design and size. We loved the end result! . . . #cushions #mudcloth #mali #decor #pillows #fabric #sourcing #interiordesigner #designmonarchy #decorating #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #love #interiordesign #fabrics #TNChustler #DSpattern #black #blue #geo #coastal #african #tribal #ethnicdecor #africandesign #livecolorfully #calledtobecreative #trend

Here is a black and white close-up snap of our client's custom upholstered easy chair. We just love the strong visual impact and contrast of this attention-grabbing piece. All the time @designmonarchy spent on sourcing the right fabrics and then 3D modelling the chair to get the fabric configuration just right was well worth it. Jaw-dropping, eye-popping, camera-grabbing, don't you think?! 😮 😍 📷

And here we have the completed chair and ottoman! It looks absolutely stunning upholstered in the various tribal-inspired monochromatic embroidered fabrics. We adored the finished product - what a showpiece!

Our client had an existing easy chair and ottoman that cried out to be made into a striking feature. We simply loved the idea of applying multiple fabrics onto the same chair. Once the perfect monochrome African-inspired fabric scheme was sourced, we set to work playing with various configurations. This was all done in a 3D model in order to best illustrate to our client how her chair might look once upholstered. We played with quite a few configurations until we found the one that was just right. Which is your favourite?
