Designer and illustrator, Rory Hutton has made his homeware debut with a decorated range of linens celebrating one of Britain’s most important ceramics collections. The designer has come together with upcoming, independent homeware brand Nara Cambridge to translate his signature style for this covetable new collection.

Infused with colour and charm, RORY HUTTON X NARA CAMBRIDGE includes a tablecloth, matching napkin and tea towel featuring a series of 10 teapots, inspired by the ceramics of Cambridge’s world-renowned Fitzwilliam Museum.

Largely from the 18th century, the teapots include several fine examples of English creamware as well as a charming Staffordshire pot in the shape of a house.

“The significance of everyday household ceramics such teapots can sometimes be forgotten However, these pieces are an important part of our social and cultural heritage, symbols of much-loved rituals and often holding enormous sentimental value” explains Rory Hutton.

Alexandra Bishop, founder of Nara Cambridge, added: “RORY HUTTON X NARA CAMBRIDGE is joyful – capturing the quirky elegance of Rory Hutton’s design with all the practical benefits of beautifully block-printed fabrics.

“Hand block printing is a very physical process which gives unpredictable results but, the imperfections add a painterly quality and are what makes this collection so charming.”
