Tent London - Rebecca Ellen

The east side of London becomes a hot bed of design, innovation and exclusive events during the week of the design festival. The biggest, and we think best, venue of them all is Tent London held in a former industrial site, the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. Tent London is the ground-breaking show for forward-thinking design across all disciplines, delivering the very best contemporary and vintage design, architecture and interiors and the world of digital.
We saw many unique designers, collectives and experiences at Tent, the show floor was buzzing with young talent and established designers. A standout in the arena of wallcoverings and embroidery was Rebecca Ellen's combination of textile art and paper designs.
She creates "beautiful wallpaper and artwork by combining print with embroidery. Taking on a very illustrative approach, the embroidery incorporated in each piece suggests a sensitivity, which is met with a fun array of colours. The designs portray their own identity as stories unravel through stitch."
Her designs make a simple border treatment or a singular panel of wallcovering the focal point of a room and her bespoke creates ensure no two rooms will look alike.
