They offer fabrics digitally printed in the U.K., plus cushions and lampshades made from them. There are 12 prints available, printed on Cotton Half Panama (a type I’ve never heard of, and it’s not in my Dan River [...]

When people explore digital textile printing they tend to gravitate toward conversational prints and splashy florals. Certainly those tend to take advantage of the unlimited color possibilities.

Michas Stoffecke has produced a whole slew of designs, and if you count up all [...]
