New Patterns ~ Printed Plywood Edit
To celebrate the launch of 20 brand new designs with UK company, Surface View, I have selected 8 to be illustrated as printed plywood, an option now available for interior designers and architects.
Plywood is a high functioning building material that never goes out of fashion. But its timeless and honest quality is about to go to an altogether new level of interest with the introduction of print.
Minimal Becomes Maximal.
The stability, resistance, strength and durability of plywood, makes it a firm favourite of designers and architects, yet without loosing these aspects it is now possible to digitally print plywood sheet.
Printing changes the character of the substrate, and whilst it is possible to minimally alter the surface my new designs unapologetically stand to attention.
Most importantly, the printing process does not hide the grain of the wood. It is visible through the print, which remains transparent. When holding it and moving it in your hand it continues to maintain its three dimensional quality and surface texture.
As a result, I’m not going to shy away from saying the outcome is about pattern, excitement, character and colour. So, this is a new option for designers, who understand plywood and its habit but seek a new and exciting finish.
The New Designs.
20 complex and vibrant botanicals have been painstakingly assembled from scans and photographs of plants from my garden, here in Wiltshire. See all the designs here: Surface View.
Be under no illusion, these designs are not mere photographs or surface patterns, they are works of art.
Many days, and in some cases weeks, of digital craftsmanship has gone into building these designs. So each work outlines the astonishing fantasy of flora and fauna. The new collection focusses on a broad range of flowers including an homage to Wales by way of ‘Welsh daffodils’, or the rich Mediterranean coastline with ‘Mimosa’. There are Peonies from my garden here in Wiltshire, and Sage with driftwood for the diverse British coastline. In conclusion, there is a design here for every occasion.

Financing for Designing and Repairing Products
Getting extra money is a great way to receive the financing you need for designing and repairing products.
When planning a home renovation, it can be hard to figure out how to pay for everything. But with a home repair loan, you can get the cash you need all in one place—and then repay it over time.
You may wonder how much it costs to get such a loan. The good news is that it's not as expensive as it used to be! There are even more options than ever before, so if you're looking for financing for design and repair products, don't give up hope just because it seems like no one wants to lend you money. There are plenty of options!
Printed Plywood Visualisations
‘WELSH DAFFODIL ~ ANTHRACITE’ visualised as printed
plywood kitchen.
This design is a panoramic explosion of electric yellow Daffodils and
pale Narcissi set against Leek green or Anthracite black. It fizzes with
bees, birds and butterflies. Between the jungle green stems and leaves,
are earth and coal gravels as well as fine dustings of flower
pollen.

you
‘AVALON ROSE’ visualised as printed plywood
furniture.
‘Avalon Rose’ at first glance is a classic English rose with
falling scarlet petals but within the design, dark red thorns make the
design a lot more interesting than pretty flowers. Ladybirds and other
insects are hidden in the design.

‘HONEY BLOSSOM’ visualised as printed plywood
wall.
‘Honey Blossom’ is a cascade of a thousand blossoms. In the
background, amongst the buzzing honey bees, are honeycombs with giant
drops of golden honey falling through the branches.

photograph please contact me directly.
‘PEONY CRUSH’ visualised as printed plywood
staircase.
This design is based purely on the peonies in my
garden. They are bright pink, pale blush and raspberry ripple:
there are so many shades of pink in this design. Just like in my
garden I have nestled, chirping Gold finches between the flower
heads with drifting feathers here and there.

‘BEACH SAGE’ visualised as printed plywood
kitchen.
‘Beach Sage’ is exfoliated bark with chocolate markings.
These tumble through Wood Sage and garden Sage. Blades of grass from
sand dunes, as well as dragon flies keep the design watery. Finally,
handfuls of salt crystals against a sky blue bring the outdoors
atmosphere.
