Textile preview with Camira at CDW18

May 15, 2018   Ella Doran 

Leading textile company Camira previewed Ella Doran's exciting new ‘Waterlake’ fabric design at Clerkenwell Design Week 2018. Ella created the design for her client the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP). Due to launch in 2019, ‘Waterlake’ will feature as part of Ella Doran’s YSP exhibition ‘From Sheep to Seat’ and will be used to upholster a piece of furniture created entirely from materials sourced at the Park. The chair’s wooden elements will originate from YSP’s trees, whilst the wool used to create the fabric is taken from the sheep that live at the Park. Camira will be weaving the fabric at their local Yorkshire facilities for the exhibition and the first sample jacquard textile was on display during Clerkenwell Design Week CDW18!

I used to roam around my dad’s wood workshop in West Yorkshire, terrorising his colleagues and making wooden sculptures. I’d accompany him to the demolition sites of the old mills of Manchester and Leeds that were being pulled down; everything within the mills was meant to be burnt, however, he’d salvage wood, bobbins, and cast iron objects and use the materials to make floors and furniture out of the reclaimed timber and other items. The idea that you could make something out of nothing interested me.

I work with developers, designers, and other creatives to create stand-out visual identities, websites, and marketing.
