Prada created styles for Fall 08 that let us look at lace in new ways.
Furniture makers/designers are following suit in some small and not so small ways.

I’ve been pondering this preponderance of lace for awhile now at the same time wondering what this really says….for one at least with respect to furniture and interior surfaces, I’d say it’s technology and that we aren’t living solid lives anymore…things are breaking up but in beautiful ways. Fabrics? Same thing, but it’s a way to evoke the old and the new at the same time which is very much how we are functioning these days. That’s good, keeping what works but using it in new and creative ways.
Janet’s studio, J.A. Design Studio, is based in Miami but her inspiration lies somewhere between there, Sweden, where she was born and raised, and Italy, where she lived for 20 years before coming to the United States in 1995. So imagine all of that influence hand painted onto your tablecloth and matching napkins (although each piece is hand painted so will be slightly different than the next), cushions and draperies….or whatever you want as you can also buy her linens by the yard.
