Summer bright wallpaper, lights inspired by balloon art and a world first for tiles – these are the products that caught my eye this week
To create the latest three wallpapers in their Travelogue collection, Mini Moderns founding partners Mark and Keith returned to their favourite destination Sorrento and the Bay of Naples.
The latest designs draw on water colour sketches created over many years: Limoneto depicts lemon groves and sailing boats, Porcellana features painted plates hanging on striped wallpaper and Frutti di Mare is an all over print of fish and seafood. The designs perfectly capture the Mediterranean vibe of the area.
Paint & Paper Library’s new Architects formulations are suitable for a multiple of surfaces, the company says they will stick to almost any building substrate including wood, metal, tiles even plastic – making them suitable for use both inside and out.
Architects’ Matt, Architects’ Eggshell and Architects’ Satinwood have all been reformulated, whilst new to the offering is the water-based Architects’ Gloss. Available in the full palette of Paint & Paper Library colours. With the new formulations, colour can be utilised across all surfaces within a space for a cohesive scheme.
Chase Erwin has launched a new outdoor collection of fabrics. Soleil is the company’s first outdoor offering featuring designs with both breezy summer style and seasonal functionality in mind.

The Principle collection from Parkside and Alusid represents a huge step forward for the ceramic tile industry as the world’s first mass produced, 91% recycled content tile.
With the tile body made entirely from post consumer recycled glass and ceramic, Principle has taken a bold leap from small batch production to a fully scalable process. There are four colours to choose from green, amber (shown), blue and white inspired by the Victorian period

Spotted at Clerkenwell Design Week the Soft Blown lighting collection will be available from Lladro in September. The collection includes the Afloat pendant light or Airbloom table lamps, both take inspiration from hot summer days when balloon artists fill the streets with colourful creations.
The new collection was designed by Nichetto Studio using Lladro’s signature handcrafted porcelain, it will be available from the Tollgard Design Group showrooms and at the Lladro boutique in Harrods.
