Helen Amy Murray - Furniture Fabric Designer

The first time I saw bespoke furniture upholstered with textile designer Helen Amy Murray’s distinct 3-dimensional fabric and leather creations was on a design and lifestyle show some time last year. I saw only part of the program but I remember thinking “that’s one gorgeous piece of home furniture.”

I caught a rerun of the show the other day (I think it was called Living etc) that I realized how much work it takes to create these beautiful nature-based and geometric designs. It’s all handmade using her patent-applied method. Check out this bespoke wingback leather chair with large dragon motive. Just stunning!

I love the floral (peonies, roses, chrysanthemums) motifs the best.
