New York-based designer Sheila Bridges’ now-iconic Harlem Toile de Jouy print earned her in a place in Cooper Hewitt’s permanent collections, but admirers of her colorful, patterned designs can now have them in their own personal collections, too.
Bridges’ new line—just released—for The Shade Store features five entirely new fabric patterns inspired by “the tastemaker’s childhood memories of traveling, gardening, and outdoor play,” according to the retailer, plus, of course, Harlem Toile. All are available for use on roman shades, drapes, cornices, and custom pillows.
Take a look at the collection in situ in Bridges’ own Harlem home.
