Formex 2010: Mrs. Murphy

Posted by Tiffany on August 13th, 2010    Add your comment »

Today I walked and walked until I found Mrs. Murphy at the very back of one of the exhibition halls, right next to the Young Designers Cafe. A prized spot, actually. And Malin Ehlin, Mrs. Murphy’s ever-present alter ego, didn’t let me down.

Malin Ehlin aka Mrs. Murphy

She was darling as ever in the new fabric she’s designed in her first ever collaboration with textile company Mairo.

New pattern from Mrs. Murphy for Mairo.

The new pattern is called “Tattoo’d Sailor” and marks a return for Mrs. Murphy to her earlier family of designs inspired by tattoo art and pinups.

There were also a new range of tea towels made to spice up any kitchen with helpful Mrs. Murphy reminders.

Mrs. Murphy’s words to live by, now on her new “Words by” line of tea towels.

Unfortunately my walking today to the distant reaches of of the market left my feet in shreds. So tomorrow it’s tennies for me. Mrs. Murphy will most certainly be displeased.

New “Patterns of Lost Times” tea towels

For those of you watching for US distribution, Mrs. Murphy’s new “Words by” and “Patterns of Lost Times” collections of kitchen towels will be available soon! Have your favorite local shop that should be carrying them contact us.

And stay tuned… we’ll be posting more new designs direct from Formex soon!
