Home Is Wherever You Are...

I have been so inspired by design, architecture, color and interiors lately. How a room has the ability to tell an entire story and transport you into another realm, regardless of it's location or exterior. In the same way the our clothes may reveal our inner thoughts and moods, so to do our choices in design reveal our desires and passions in an outwardly way. The way a mirror is angled to catch optimal afternoon rays, a chair upholstered in 1960's crushed velvet to trigger memories of freedom and bliss, a flower pot bursting with the lushest of living art to remind us of our truest connections to nature. The list goes on and on and is always changing and growing as our artistic minds continue to take form and allow us to delve into the hidden appeal of our most creative corners. Check out some of the latest and greatest from the archives of TRENDLAND TrendHomes...

Knit takes Form...

"My passion for knitwear started at a very young age... In a way knitwear chose me, as it has always been around me and our house was all decorated in knitted and crocheted cushions, pictures and toys. For me knitwear is comparable to my mother tongue; it's a sort of language embedded in my DNA and I find it easy to express myself through it." 

Laura Theiss, the Lithuanian-born knitwear designer, has been playing, working and designing with knits for as long as she could put needle to yarn. Her pieces are pushing the limits of what is possible within the shapes and volume that can be created with knits. They are not just garments but art pieces, 2 dimensional and projecting outward from the form rather then simply being worn.
