Second Design Guild Mark for The Monkey Puzzle Tree with All Tomorrow's Futures
Combining a stunning, large-scale print by artist Alexis Snell, with a specially commissioned locally woven fabric, ‘All Tomorrow’s Futures’ is a joyfully intelligent collaboration, that in addition to its beau-ty, comments on the world and its journey to sustainability. This exuberant design has a subversive undertone, where flocks of swallows morph into aeroplanes and shoals of fish merge into skulls and snakes. Monkeys, butterflies, and panthers are set alongside exploding volcanoes and arid deserts. The layered, hidden message about humankind's impact on the planet reveals more of itself every time you look at the fabric.
