INSPIRATION
HOLLYWOOD PALM A celebration of Martyn s LA influences, Hollywood Palm is an instant classic born out of both common Cole and Son motifs and deco Palm Springs design.

BAHIA Bahia, meaning brilliance, derives its name from the beautiful Bahia Palace and surrounding gardens in Marrakesh. This decorative doorway panel s design draws inspiration from both the palace and the Durbar Room of Osborne House, the palatial holiday house of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Its elegantly detailed Jali fretwork, elaborate, lacelike masonry and decorative motifs in Gold and Stone have been painstakingly drawn and painted by hand in order to reflect the highly-skilled craftsmanship of its inspirations. Embodying all the intricate design elements of the collection, Bahia can be used as a stand-alone panel, run side-by-side as a continuous design, or with the complementary Jali Trellis, which has been designed as a coordinate to the decorative panel. Colourway: Gold + Stone Bahia 113/4012
JALI TRELLIS Jali Trellis takes its name from the ornamental, patterned stonework that adorns many temples and sacred buildings. Designed to complement the statement Bahia doorway, its semi-plain floral motif in Stone is a charming alternative to classic neutrals. Colourway: Stone Jali Trellis 113/5013
FEZ Another of Martyn s signature motifs is the Moroccan lantern, realised in this collection as the Fez border.

ZELLIGE Zellige takes its name from the Arabic expression for mosaic tilework, one of the most notable aspects of Moroccan architecture. When creating the design, Martyn and the Cole and Son studio were keen to retain the feel of real ceramic glazed Moroccan tiles and so the design has been handrendered to retain a beautiful, organic texture. Staying true to a traditional north African-style palette, Zellige is presented in China Blue and White, Olive and Print Room Blue, Spice and Charcoal, and the monochromatic Soot and Snow. Colourways: China Blue + White, Olive + Print Room Blue, Spice + Charcoal, Soot + Snow Zellige 113/11032 Zellige 113/11033 Zellige 113/11034 Zellige 113/11035
ZELLIGE BORDER As with traditional tile motifs, the Zellige Border provides a decorative trim to many of the Martyn Lawrence Bullard designs, including Zellige and Sultan s Palace. Vibrant shades of China Blue and White, Olive, and Soot and Snow add the perfect finishing touch to Martyn s signature layered style.

Colourways: Teal + Pink Babylon113/13039
TREES OF EDEN The elegant Trees of Eden panels are an ode to the eponymous, mythological garden. Their design takes its inspiration from archive chintz patterns, where the fusion of ethnic motifs and traditional British heritage design created opulent and highly-prized textiles. Each tree, whilst different in design, depicts boughs luxuriant in foliage, forbidden fruits, and the classic Cole and Son wisteria flowers. Painted to scale, with a distressed, batik-like effect this highly decorative series makes an instant design statement, whether hung side by side for a dramatic effect or individually for a striking centrepiece.
