Johanna Basford - Designer Wallpaper and Fabric

Johanna creates intricate drawings of imagined botanicals intertwined with a flutter of butterflies giving a traditional ‘Damask’ a contemporary edge.

She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee in 2005 and DKNY installed her ‘Crazy Botanic’ wallpaper in their Bond Street store in the DKNY &Wallpaper* New Designers showcase during London Fashion Week in the same year.

Heals recently launched their China Blue bed linen range, featuring a Johanna Basford motif, as part of their Heals Discovers Showcase in association with the Royal College of Art.

She has developed a range of innovative interactive wallcoverings and last year won the ‘Best in Bedrooms’ Elle Decoration Design Award.

At Homes & Interiors Scotland Exhibition 2008 she launched a limited edition cuckoo clock wallpaper panel in green and gold silk screened onto a 2m wallpaper panel in metallic and pigment inks and fitted with a battery operated clock mechanism with moving hands.  Her original limited edition design is also available in black and gold.

In addition, she created a limited edition print with a spherical design featuring delicate tangles of hand drawn botanicals and butterflies in black on white.
