CHARISMATIC CUSHIONS FROM CHARLENE MULLEN
































Charlene Mullen is an award-winning designer, creating beautifully executed textiles for residential and commercial interiors. Intricate embroidery creates a contemporary, yet deeply personal feel.

Mullen's unique aesthetic is born of her training in illustration and textiles combined with over 15 years of experience designing embroideries for leading fashion houses including Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce & Gabanna, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan and Givenchy.

In 2007, Matthew Hilton commissioned Mullen to produced two ranges of furnishings for the launch of his eponymous brand at 100% Design in London. This led Mullen to create her own collection for which she was shortlisted as Best Newcomer at 100% Design in 2008.

Designs vary from decorative and ordered recreations of scientific structures to figurative designs with an illustrative feel and humorous narrative. The contours of machine and traditional hand embroidery bring an added depth and warmth to Charlene Mullen textiles.

Provide is very pleased to offer the work of this both imaginative and innovative designer who's designs are made available through the leading interiors brand De La Espada.

CALEB SIEMON + CARMEN SALAZAR AT PROVIDE

































These beautiful new handblown (from lead free crystal) pieces by Caleb Siemon and Carmen Salazar have just arrived at Provide. Pictured from the top is the Tango Barrel from the Cumulo series, next is the Silver Chaos Wrap barrel vase from the Metals series and finally, at the bottom is the White and Grey Chaos Wrap Net bowl and vase from the Netted series.

The Cumulo use dollops of glass over a central core. The hot bits are blown out to diffuse the colour and create a bulbous cloud like shape. The bulbs are arranged so that each vase will sit in a way unique to itself.

The Metals use precious metals and wraps of clear crystal to create vessels that are reminiscent of modern era glass with a galactic edge. Silver pieces will Patina.

The Netted use a chaos wrap of white over a grey transparent core. The overlapping technique creates a pattern unique to each handblown piece.
