Colour, pattern and a vibrant zest for life come to stylish fruition in the work of print designer Sophie Tilston. With an eclectic approach to her print designs, Sophie seeks inspiration from her local surroundings and cultures from farther afield, captured by the pattern led designs in places such as Japan, China, India, Sweden, and Mexico. Combining this with a love of vintage fabrics, tiles and wallpapers means that Sophie Tilston’s work is both vivid, rich, and full of character.
A range of home and giftware act as the perfect products for Sophie to showcase her print designs and from lampshades, coasters and tea towels to china and enamel mugs, candles, compact mirrors, purses, pouches and more, each incorporates her eye-catching designs.
Using a variety of techniques to create her final design, most of Sophie’s patterns start off as either hand drawn, painting or lino illustrations, which she them manipulates in photoshop and illustrator to create a finished look that can be transferred to her products seamlessly. For her fabrics, Sophie uses several different heat presses and a convection, all from her studio by the sea in Falmouth.
