Designer Ben Pentreath’s recoloring in Summertime for Christopher Farr Cloth’s 20th anniversary of the design “Carnival”.
Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Christopher Farr Cloth’s iconic “Carnival” design with exclusive recolorings of the beloved botanical print.
Originally sourced from the archives of visionary Michael Szell, the design has seen multiple color iterations over the years, with the current collection showcasing 10 colorways. To commemorate the dual-decade milestone, the U.K.-based luxury textile house gathered over 20 design luminaries—including Honey Collins, Robert Couturier, Thomas Jayne, Ben Pentreath, Markham Roberts, and Colette van den Thillart—to lend their creative genius to a lively refresh.
Featuring festive colors like Summertime, Fairy Dust and Aubergine, the breathtaking results were on display at the curated exhibition A Carnival of Colors at Paris Déco Off, from January 17-21, 2024, where clients were invited to cast a vote for their favorite design. The winning pick will be part of Christopher Farr Cloth’s permanent collection.
“We are delighted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘Carnival’ with this exceptional project, bringing together the best in the design industry to reimagine this timeless classic,” said Michal Silver, creative director at Christopher Farr Cloth.
Corresponding with this exhibition, Christopher Farr Cloth’s newest collection with Fogo Island Workshops was also showcased. This enchanting collection presents the shared values of craftsmanship and originality between the two collaborators. What a fun way to be part of design history.
