Marbled Silks & Surfaces
Hand marbled fabric or paper for couture & reproduction
Marbled Silks and Surfaces was founded in 2003 initially as a product based business and then into designing for reproduction to luxury fashion and interior brands.
Having being captivated by the technique of Italian and Turkish marbled mono prints, Emma evolved the practice through rigorous research, pushing the boundaries and breaking the rules of the traditional art of marbling.
Questioning the possibility of completely new design aesthetics drives the creative outcomes where beautiful expressions of colour are central to each piece.
Silk fabric and papers are created that are suited to design reproduction for couture, interiors and installations. Innovative and unique designs are translated either in house or by clients into production.
Designs are reproduced into weave, digital print and other surface applications to include glass, leather and ceramics. Artwork can be commissioned for reproduction and licensing from the extensive archive or a bespoke design service can be offered.
Clients include Aveda, Stella McCartney, The V&A, Zoffany, Hermès Paris, Avenida and Liberty.
