Artist and surface pattern designer Ella Doran has created a one-off artwork piece called “Paint Drop.” The piece took form during the COVID-19 pandemic, inspired by the idea of using leftover house paint as part of Ella’s on-going commitment and passion for the circular economy.

Peeling Paint is a hyper-realistic repeat that combines a contemporary distressed aesthetic with a warm, earthy colour palette to a striking 3D effect. This is a double-width design, printed in 5-metre rolls. By Ella Doran.

It all begins with an idea.

"Interpreting Waterlake into a carpet runner has felt very natural. I was able to adapt the design to fit the format perfectly, and despite concerns as to whether we would be able to achieve the right blue in the dying process of the YSP wool, it has all been achieved."

Sheep to Seat, Fleece to Floor  followed the journey of wool from the sheep which graze the historic landscape of the Park, from shearing to scouring, spinning to weaving and design to product development. The result was a display of beautiful bespoke furniture, furnishings and photographic prints, all of which were available to buy.

As an homage to local products, suppliers and processes, the exhibition highlighted the importance of the circular economy in reducing waste and sustaining livelihoods and traditions. It shone a light on one of the most versatile, sustainable, abundant and undervalued of the UK’s agricultural products: wool.

The chairs represent the founders’ depth of interest in and passion for twentieth century and contemporary design in the form of the chair, which they say is ‘symbolic of a designer’s creativity, their use of technologies, materials and form’. The collection also cements the longstanding retail partnership between the two parties.        
‘Ella’s distinctive eye for pattern and arrangement has transformed the furniture into something closer to a textile print’

Ella Doran has been designing and selling trays since 1998. In the early days, Ella had to use single images in minimum production quantities of 3000, but, thanks to new developments, she became able to produce one-off designs, using materials directly onto specialist paper and made into individual trays that allows for individual creativity.
