Final year project
Lost Bohemia [Read more]
Bea May
Lost Bohemia is a sense of nostalgia of the time that has passed after a whirlwind year of isolation and government restrictions, a yearning to socialise and be able to go out in the evening and enjoy a drink while surrounded by friends. Inspired by the creativity of the 1930s, Lost Bohemia is a collection that brings together the past's colours, shapes, and sensibility. Despite the current world we live in, which very limited and restrictive, looking back in time was inspiring and giving an overall sense of hope as we look into the future.
Designed with a Bar and Restaurant in mind, the bright colours and textured fabrics create a rich social landscape to enjoy a meal and drink with friends. The collections aim is to create a fun and beautiful space that isn't dull, dark or restrictive, but bright and fun.
This collection aims to emulate the eccentricity of the early 19th century through its explorations of stills lives and vintage objects, such as Cocktail shakers, cutglass glasses and vases. Artists such as Sonia Delaunay and Vanessa Bell have all influenced the expressive shapes and bright colours features.
At the heart of this collection, there is an invitation to pause and enjoy the company and conversation with others.
