COLLECTION

Celebrating the wonder of the natural world, Botanical Atlas showcases an eclectic array of flora and fauna, crafted with timeless elegance and hued in rich, sophisticated colour palettes. This season takes us on a global voyage and an exploration of magical and fantastical forms. Following Sir Arthur Liberty’s passion for discovery, the collection references his remarkable expeditions to Japan, China, Persia and India during the 1880s-1910s. From trailing Chinoiserie motifs, through to miniature Persian Garden illustrations, Indian Moghul painting and art from the Japanese Edo period, this intrinsically Liberty collection reinterprets traditional techniques with modern accents.

The Botanical Atlas fabric collection celebrates our historic lineage of craftsmanship and design through a cross-pollination of styles and visual narratives. Richly layered embroideries, opulent textured weaves, and contemporary printed velvets and linens are juxtaposed with a selection of elegant stripes and mesmerising geometrics – expertly crafted using traditional and cutting-edge techniques in Italy, Belgium, and India. This magnificent landscape of Floating Pavilion was originally printed as a Liberty furnishing fabric during the 1970s.

Incorporating new stylistic elements, and recoloured in tonal and harmonious palettes, this design is inspired by traditional Chinoiserie wallpaper panels from the 17th and 18th centuries. Adapted by the Liberty Design Studio, intriguing islands with lush gardens of oversized lotus flowers, fantastic pavilions, floating sampans, and birds in flight unfold across this spectacular scenic. Printed on a rich sumptuous velvet, Floating Pavilion is perfect for upholstery, drapery, cushions, and accessories.

“Liberty has always appealed to the heart and spirit of the collector – those with a passion for unique pieces that transcend the generations. Botanical Atlas is dedicated to those enthusiasts, past and present.” – Genevieve Bennett, Head of Design Liberty Interiors
