Mark Tuckey + Cotton On Home take plush turn for autumn/winter

A combination of winter-weight fabrics and a sophisticated colour palette, Mark Tuckey’s latest Cotton On Home collection has a real luxe factor – it’s also less beachy than seasons past.

“In designing the latest pieces we were inspired by the khaki and dark grey hues that were so prevalent at Maison Fair this past September, the army green especially has a warm earthiness that is so comforting for winter. I’m personally such a fan of these colours and always have been. I’m so glad that I was able to incorporate them into the latest range”, said Mark Tuckey creative director, Louella Tuckey.

Tote bag in Army Eclipse, $29.95

Featuring seasonal updates of the core collection, we love the pops of on-trend army green and charcoal that feature on everything from large beanbag covers to tote bags – the giant spot motif is especially cool. As with the previous collection, tassels and fringing abound – the square Circus tassel cushion in charcoal, the rectangle tassel bathmat and the large knit cushion are all standouts in the range.

In keeping with the current trend for all things velvet, the range also features plenty of velvet cushions and a pricier limited edition velvet quilt that is available online only and in two colour ways – the collection’s signature blue and dark soot or charcoal. “Adding pops of colour through the velvet items in our living range makes it easy for our community to update their homes with these new season colours and fabrics, which really stand out when paired back with the more neutral products in the collection,” commented Louella.

And as with every other Mark Tuckey + Cotton On collaboration, the price point is super affordable and a great example of luxe for less. We’re predicting a sell-out.

Exclusive behind the scenes photos from the Mark Tuckey + Cotton On collection

Mark and Louella

The hotly anticipated Mark Tuckey + Cotton On collection launches this Friday (read all about it here) and between you and me I can’t wait to get my hands on their beautifully designed, affordable pieces.

So to whet your appetite just that little bit more, we have all the behind the scenes photos from the collection’s inaugural photo shoot; where you can catch a glimpse of not just the homewares, but Mark and Louella Tuckey (of Mark Tuckey) in action.

With the collection categorised by Eat, Drink, Relax, Store, Bathe and Sleep; everything is made with quality natural materials such as cotton, linen and timber. Marking Cotton On’s first foray into homewares, they had long wanted to collaborate with another brand, and furniture makers Mark Tuckey felt like a natural fit to everyone. “Cotton On knew of the Mark Tuckey brand since its early days and originally approached us to discuss store fit-outs but it quickly became a conversation about homewares,” explains Louella. “Cotton On had wanted to create a homewares brand for its adults’ business for some time and collaborating with another brand had always been on their radar.”

With the concept of the Mark Tuckey + Cotton On collaboration being in line with Mark and Louella’s core business objective – to create products they love and want in their own home, they believe this new partnership echoes that same passion. “We’ve created an authentic and honest collection featuring a natural palette with pops of colour and a focus on good, clean design at exceptional prices. It’s similar to Mark Tuckey in the fact that everything has been designed here in Australia; the main difference is the more accessible price point. It’s really exciting to think that we’ll be introducing the Mark Tuckey brand to new customers and homes across the globe.”

With so many products on offer from mugs and chopping blocks to bedding and bath mats, the biggest challenge for Louella is naming her favourite product. “My favourite product is the hand knitted Cable Blanket in natural cotton. But then I also love the wool Ottoman Bean Bag Cover and I love the fragrances we’ve developed for our Woodnote Candles. We have a smokey wood scent that I’m going to stock up on for home.”

The collection combines optimistic and effortless design with pared-back Australian simplicity and features quality natural materials such as cotton, linen and timber; a natural progression for both brands. “The concept of Mark Tuckey + Cotton On is in line with that of our main business – to create products that we love and that we want to live with in our own home,” says one half of Mark Tuckey, Louella Tuckey. “It’s about that same passion. The result is an authentic and honest collection based on a natural palette with pops of colour and a focus on good, clean design at affordable prices.”
