Angie Lewin

While I was looking through a few websites last night, I came across Angie’s prints on Bloesem, one of the design blogs I enjoy reading.

As Irene Hoff, Bloesem’s editor writes, "I love the color pallets and of course the illustrations themselves".

I agree. Angie’s knowledge, understanding and use of colour is, in my eyes,  perfect. I’m not just saying this because Angie is a friend and share a passion for home baked macaroons or even because I contribute to St. Jude’s Modern British design blog. I’m saying it because Angie has a unique and beautiful style which stands out amongst many other artists and designers influenced by botanical structures and forms.

Due to a toddler dawn chorus I was up early this morning. Evie said she heard helicopters, I’m not so sure. Whilst making the most of an early start, I decided to flit my half-closed-eyes over Bloesem, a stylish blog full of beautiful things. As I was scrolling down, I came across an article about Showhome, a collection of Mid Century Modern and Contemporary furniture set up in a London house. When I clicked on the link to the site, I noticed a familiarity about the house, the illustration is quite similar to our own Bee Hive.

The Showhome as the name suggests, is exactly that. An ordered home full of elegant furniture and accessories. I was rather surprised to see the odd piece of furniture in the Showhome similar to that in  our own home only our furniture is covered in dust, toys and washing. Oh well.
