"I want all the colors, techniques and designs from each culture to blend. I redesign them and mix up the processes. I edit them, learn from them, make them my own, but retain their essence."
Designer John Robshaw is known for his iconic Indian-inspired textiles, bold colors, and hand-painted pillows. From humble beginnings as a painter in New York, John Robshaw has grown his globally-inspired textile and furniture business into a multi-million dollar business. Robshaw's fabrics are inspired by his travels to India and Southeast Asia. There he observed traditional fabric making and the skills of local artisans to create his own multicolored block print designs.
The New Fall/Winter 2020 Collection Live at Fig Linens and Home embodies the classic internationally-inspired fabrics of the line. It brings muted autumn colors to John Robshaw's textiles in both classic and reinvented patterns. For instance, the fall/winter collection has many classic John Robshaw indigos on patterned decorative pillows and hand-stitched quilts. However, you can also experience a cozy new fall version of the color with the John Robshaw Velvet Indigo Throw Blanket. Autumn stays fresh with sage green bedding and moss green pillows. The collection presents a whimsical twist on Robshaw's classic animal hand-painted pillows with a new Cheeky Peacock pattern. Read more or experience the entire collection here.
