Our latest Robert Allen @ Home collection with Madcap Cottage made a big impression at Showtime Market. The large-scale painterly designs coupled with a new vivid and cheerful palette update traditional chintz-like florals for today’s modern interiors.
Brimming with that signature Madcap whimsy, these fabrics layer beautifully or are ideal for a pop of color and pattern in small doses.
Known for their whimsical yet sophisticated use of color and pattern, the design duo behind Madcap Cottage scours the world for eclectic finds and inspiration that captures their unique sensibilities. They run their firm—an ever-changing design “laboratory”—in a former pharmacy in the heart of High Point, NC, the hub for American decorative arts.
Standout Madcap Cottage interiors include a jewel-hued loft in downtown New York City, a color-rich, playful beach house in the Hamptons, a sophisticated 1920s-era bungalow in the Midwest, a historic shotgun-style cottage in the French Quarter and a former mill on the outskirts of London.
Collecting and curating is a way of life for Jason Oliver Nixon and John Loecke, the design duo behind esteemed firm Madcap Cottage. For their second collaboration with Robert Allen @ Home, the designers present a vibrant collection full of their signature wit and whimsy but with an added dose of far-flung glamour inspired by their own travel adventures. Patterns are hand-drawn and echo those from the 50s and 60s. Exotic toiles, splashy florals, stunning geometrics and lyrical embroideries mingle to create a transporting, riotous mix of color that lends itself to numerous applications.
Windsor Park Palm, Bermuda Bay Palm, Windy Corner Indigo, Mill Reef Indigo, and Gem Palace BK Indigo
