Designer Spotlight: Angela Adams
December 17th, 2008 § Leave a Comment
I’ve decided that Wednesday’s are going to be my Designer Spotlight day (I’m sure you’re very excited, waiting with baited breath for my first pick!). So, without further ado today’s pick is Angela Adams! I met Angela earlier this year at a Design Within Reach event at which she was introducing her new line of couture rugs (they are stunning btw). I was not only taken back by the beauty and fun retro feel of her work, but by how genuine and down to earth she was. She’s done an amazing job expanding her brand and has made excellent licensing decisions (for example her tile line for Ann Sacks pictured above).
Angela is from a small island off the coast of Maine and draws all her inspiration from the nature around her (during her presentation she showed us her inspiration pictures next to the final pieces and the similarities were remarkable). This organic and honest approach to design gives her work a truly timeless quality. Some of her prices are on the more expensive side (for example her rugs) but I think they’re fair for the quality of work you’re getting.
As I mentioned above, her line is extensive and she’s applied her designs to couture rugs, tile, contract fabrics, handbags, glassware, pillows, art prints and stationery products to name a few. Take a peak at her work at www.angelaadams.com and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
