Manuel Canovas’s new collection: big patterns, biophilia and a dash of vintage: SS20 interiors style on a stick
There’s an elephant mooching about the room as I type this letter, and its name begins with the letter C. We can’t swerve mentioning the virus altogether; but I hope you’ll forgive us if we do what we always do at Bristol Life: ie, accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and latch on to the affirmative. We’ll continue to promote the best of the city; but things are changing fast, so expect a fair amount of cancellations, postponements and temporary closures. One thing that does seem fairly sure is that we’ll all be spending a lot more time indoors for the forseeable – which neatly brings us to our big spring interiors feature. As ever, there are trends aplenty, but two major ones seem to be vying for our attention. Big, splashy, statement patterns are huge; but so is the converse side of the coin – tranquil, biophilic homes fit for an eco-aware new decade. Read the full SS20 edit on page 16. However, our favourite feature this issue (it’s OK to have a favourite yes? I mean, it’s not like children, or dogs) is on page 50. As Bristol is fondly nicknamed ‘Bristollywood’ by an appreciative film and TV industry, we pay tribute to Bristol’s immense Film Office and Bottle Yard Studios, who are increasingly putting Bristol on the big and small screens, and bringing in so much benefit to the local economy. Senior film officer Natalie Moore: if you ever fancy a temporary job swap, give me a call...
