THE TROSSACHS collection
Trossachs Orla Stevens’ printed and embroidered textiles and drawings explore personal, emotional and physical connections to Scottish Landscape, influenced by associated traditional cultural narratives found within the Trossachs National Park, Stirlingshire. Orla’s graduate collection translates a personal understanding of this home environment, into a collection of interior blankets. The Trossachs textiles have been designed to deliver a sense of nurture often attributed to the notion of home, through colour, texture and tactility in this collection of alternatable doublesided blanket designs.
