New scarves from Bay & Fyfe

Yes, I know, this is an interiors blog, not a fashion blog, so what on earth are these scarves doing here (looking gorgeous), you ask? WELL, they’re equally at home stretched across a canvas as a piece of art as they are around your neck (plus my stats tell me you’re mostly women and you love beautiful things).

Following a successful showing at Paris tradeshow Tranoi, Bay & Fyfe have released 3 new limited edition silk scarves. The scarves feature designs by talented Australian artist Daimon Downey featuring a flamingo, a snake and (my favourite) a puffer fish. They’re screen printed by hand with a vibrant end result. These are real statement pieces for your winter wardrobe. Or indeed your wall!

Can you believe I’ve posted 1000 times (well, a few more than now, actually!)? I would say I can’t, but it’s not all that surprising to me! Nonetheless, I thought what a great excuse for the best giveaway I’ve ever done, and one that’s full of amazing prizes I know interiors addict readers will love! One lucky reader will win EVERYTHING and all you have to do is answer one question. The best answer will be judged by Belle magazine’s interior design editor Steve Cordony and interior designer Darren Palmer. So here’s what’s up for grabs, in no particular order (it keeps going and going)…

Sunday Snippets: The best of the week in interiors

Post author By Jen Bishop
Post date July 8, 2012

First, I must apologise for the lack of Sunday Snippets last week. As most of you will have heard by now, I had a crazy weekend: got engaged on Saturday and had my birthday on Sunday! Can’t complain!

Back to this week, here’s what been happening in my world and interiors…

I went to two evening classes this week. The first was Mr Jason Grant’s design session at Coco Republic Design School (more to come on this this week) where he told us all about his life as a stylist, and the other at Sydney Writers’ Centre on writing about interiors, style and design. Both were great and it was nice to meet fellow interiors addicts!
It was a busy week for me! I was also special guest at a sustainable design principals event at Living Tiles in Rozelle.
I featured a recent project by Melbourne interior designer Christopher Elliott, which you all seemed to love. Me too! Gotta love this wallpaper…

I shared a new online find, I Love Linen, where you can pick up everything you need to recreate that hotel bed at home, but at a massive discount.
Hot on the heels of Real Living magazine, Country Style launches its own bed linen collection with Domayne this week.
The new belle magazine hit the news stands and I was delighted to find two photos of little ole me in there! Did you spot me?
I LOVE candles and I told you about a new Melbourne brand called Voyager that have a really clever ‘floating’ design.
Bay & Fyfe is one of Sydney’s hottest new lifestyle brands, currently producing some stunning scarves featuring art by Sneaky Sound System’s Daimon Downey. Founder Frith Hucks gave us an exclusive look inside her Sydney home, where many of the scarves decorate her walls as pieces of art.

A pretty big week all round! I hope you all have a fantastic new week ahead! Jen x

Bay & Fyfe is the new lifestyle brand producing covetable scarves featuring art by former Sneaky Sound System MC, Daimon Downey. The stunning silk scarves from the first Pastel Zoo collection have been seen all over town (on people and on walls) and they’ve just released a second. Founder Frith Hucks tells Interiors Addict about making art accessible and gives us a glimpse of her own home.

Starting Bay & Fyfe was “ was a Sliding Doors moment” for Frith Hucks. “Daimon Downey had an exhibition on my street and I popped in to see what it was all about. I treat myself to a piece of art every year so I bought one of his pieces from the exhibition. Then I started to think about how great this art was and how could I make it accessible to more people. Together we came up with some ideas and as they say, the rest was history,” she says.
