Huntington Library parasol

A few years ago I designed an exclusive toile for the Huntington Library in California. It was used on a variety of products to sell in the Huntington store and their online store. This week they posted this beautiful image of the paper parasol featuring the toile on their instagram. I love it!

I would love to walk in the gardens with the parasol, just like this…

I visited the gardens before I started the design, and featured little vignette scenes of their various garden areas, like the desert gardens and famous Japanese garden. Both the teapot and teacups are available in the store.

Huntington Library

The Huntington Library, near LA, is a beautiful botanical gardens and art gallery/museum. I recently designed an exclusive toile pattern for them, to use on a variety of products to sell in their new museum store, which has just opened. This lovely paper parasol, with wooden handle, is available now!When I was commissioned for this project, I visited the gardens, took photographs and did sketches...and then designed this repeat toile featuring many of the elements I saw there. I especially loved the Japanese bridge, the rose gardens and the cactus gardens. The parasol has been featured in Romantic Homes magazine.It's available to buy in the museum store or online here. Look out for more products with this pattern, coming soon!
