The partnership between Design Objectives and the V&A will launch with a celebration of the V&A’s forthcoming Quilts 1700-2010 exhibition, which opens to the public in March 2010. The papercraft collection includes linen patterned papers, punches, stencils and stickers in keeping with the textile designs and themes from the exhibition. Further designs inspired by the V&A’s collections are in the pipeline.
Becks Fagg, Head of Product from Design Objectives said: “We’re thrilled to be working with the V&A. It is a great opportunity to reveal the influential and culturally diverse collection of designs to new fans through the creative strengths of docrafts. We are also looking forward to many more diverse collections from this partnership.”
