Block Shop Brings Its Hand-Printed Aesthetic Outdoors With Sunbrella
Los Angeles textile studio Block Shop, founded by sisters Hopie Stockman Hill and Grier Stockman, collaborates with Sunbrella on a collection woven in the latter’s Anderson, South Carolina, facility. The range, Block Shop’s first line of performance fabrics, brings the sisters’ hand-printed aesthetic to indoor/outdoor acrylic textiles that offer cleanability, durability, and resistance to mildew, mold, and color fading. The collection, Hollyhock, is named for—and informed by—the 1919 Frank Lloyd Wright house in Los Angeles that’s replete with blocky geometries and floral motifs. Those contrasting patterns are translated into 12 fresh designs, including Jetty’s wavelike repeat; Key’s checkered riff on a Greek Key motif; wiggly Verdugo, after the mountain range; and Lollipop, an homage to Wayne Thiebaud’s paintings of the candy.
