She has completed two publications entitled Home and Pattern, both published by Conran Octopus. She released a third publication, A Life in Pattern, in early 2018 to coincide with her exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in May. Despite the global reach of her designs, the hues, colour ­combinations and motifs ­employed by Kiely remain ­inextricably linked to her childhood. They reference fabrics, objects and interiors from a particular moment in the 1960s and 1970s that are profoundly domestic. This may explain the atmosphere that's artfully conjured in many of Kiely's advertising campaigns, an aesthetic that's reminiscent of the world ­depicted by Hanif Kureishi in The Buddha of Suburbia. Her work has a way of making people feel upbeat,” Nothdruft admits. “It makes them feel safe and comfortable by making references to the past, but it’s certainly not nostalgic.” a b c Jenkinson, Emily (2 September 2010).

We have a great range of art resources for the classroom and for home learning. Art for KS1 doesn't always have to be as messy as this Orla Kiely activity might well end up being, but we can't promise all of our selections will leave you and your children free of mess: Kiely’s aesthetic is dominated by geometric flowers, leaves and the closest thing the designer has to a logo, her endlessly versatile, scalable and variable Stem pattern.

Her father was an accountant; her mother studied science before being forced to give up work by her employers after she married. [2] You might also want to let children have an opportunity to develop their observational and sketching skills while taking inspiration from plants and animals in preparation for this activity. For Nothdruft, this is all achieved without resorting to pastiche or nostalgia, and places Kiely in a longer trajectory that arcs from the Arts & Crafts Movement through to the mid-­century Modernism of English textile designer Lucienne Day, and the bold, effusive fabric designs of the Finnish company Marimekko. Importantly, at the heart of each of these examples is a holistic approach to design as a way of life, from the small scale of the spoon to the breadth of an entire city as Italian architect Ernesto Rogers once proclaimed, but they are also projects that are inextricably connected with joy.For Dennis Nothdruft, curator at the Fashion and Textile Museum, Kiely’s success stems in part from the clarity of her work, the consistency of her approach and the flexibility of her business model, which relies on a series of trusted licensees for all of its manufacturing. “There’s a very strong DNA that runs through everything she produces. She has a process. She absorbs things and then she filters them so that they come out in a very Orla Kiely way that’s all about her vision,” Nothdruft explains.
