Clarence House Draws on Seminal Art and Architecture Movements in New Collection

The textile titan’s spring collection, 20th Century, plumbs the seminal art and architecture movements of the modern era—from Art Deco and Fauvism to Cubism and Futurism. Designer and brand artistic director Kazumi Yoshida considered and captured the visual output of the time period as well as various artists’ philosophical approaches to nature versus technology, and their ability to turn topical events into timeless expressions. The 20 patterns include Harlequin, a 55-inch-wide cotton-polyester upholstery available in three colorways; the Arts & Crafts–inflected Pomegranate, a neutral-toned botanical with a beautiful drape; Zermatt, a Bridget Riley–esque composition of lines overlaid with optical squiggles in viscose-cotton velvet; and La Moderne Print, a linen-cotton for bedding, window treatments, upholstery, and more that nods to Sonia Delaunay canvases.
