About Designbybell
Having edited and written for Interiors magazines in a previous life, I decided to pursue my obsession for interiors by returning to college to complete a degree in Interior Design in TU Dublin, qualifying in 2015 with first class honours. Designbybell is the culmination of my studio experience and subsequent screen printing experiments with colour and textiles resulting in a unique collection of cushions which are inspired by oriental art, botanical drawings and motifs from the Irish shoreline lit-up in saturated colour, and wrapped-up in luxurious sustainably produced textiles. In referencing an ongoing passion for Art Deco style, my latest collection Swallows Wheel recalls my own experience of swallows exuberantly swooping and diving on my rambles on the Bull Wall and the Hill of Howth. All of my cushions are designed, printed and handmade in Ireland. I hope you enjoy having them as much as I enjoy designing them.

21st Century Chinoiserie
The traditional motifs of oriental art are here rendered in vibrant colour with Peacock's Preening and Mustering in velvet, matt satin and linen cotton, transformed into a contemporary statement accessory with Pop-Art's Ben Day dots.

Kaleidoscope Eye
Illuminated patterns of shape and colour, are reflected in Kaleidoscope Eye. The central motif radiates out in a mandala-like profusion of light in intoxicating hues of blue and green on shimmer velvet.

Carrageen
Carrageen or Irish Moss seaweed is found on beaches all over Ireland, in rock pools and on sand, reflecting sunny days, sunsets and the seas other bounty in a multitude of colours. Here it is recreated in several colourways on Velvet and Linen Cotton.
