Cole and Son – Frontier Collection

Frontier the latest collection from Cole and Son follows on from the New Contemporary series. This collection depicts an era of travel and discovery, in particular the culture, imagery and themes of Colonialism and the Far East.

Stepping away from the usual Cole & Son colour palette the Frontier collection includes smaller complementary patterns to coordinate with the large scale designs, creating a contemporary collection.

Gondola (above left) – evocative of a romantic Japanese journey, this oriental design is available in three vivid colourways: charcoal and gold, deep purple and fuchsia, teal and amber.

Great Wave (above centre) – a dramatic four colour design, unaltered from the 19th century original in the Cole & Son archive. Rendered in black and white, bleached neutrals and washed-out blues.

Geisha (above right) – an oriental landscape with a contemplative woman standing at the water’s edge. The clever design incorporating warm colours can be interpreted as sunrise or sunset.

Cocoa (above left) – this life-size design of the Cocoa plant can be used for a striking feature wall or incorporated with the 'Stipple' paper, to decorate an entire room.

Tropical Birds (above centre) – these exotic birds are from an original 1950's design by Una Lindsey, the same designer who created the classic Malabar. Printed in a range of colours – from off white on a putty background to striking emerald green, the design works beautifully with Feather Fan to enhance the detail within the birds.

Water Lily (above right) – a bold contemporary design, giving reference to the giant lily pads. Available in three colourways: white on white, gold on brown and off white and black.

George and Andrew have samples available, and they will be delighted to show them to you. Their contact details are listed below.
