Spotlight: Olivia Rubin x Etsy Homeware Range
Olivia Rubin x Etsy Homeware Range
It’s been a long time in the making (and trying to keep quiet about!), but the Olivia Rubin x Etsy homeware range finally launched this week and it’s a technicolour dream! The colourful, rainbow filled homeware range forms a fun, playful interiors collection in collaboration with seven Etsy sellers, our Spark & Bell lighting being one of them. Olivia handpicked each of the designers whose style and design ethos complemented her own, and the result is a dynamic home and living collection including candles, dining sets, stationery, cushions, a ceramic travel mug, and all with that cheerful and fresh rainbow vibe Olivia is known for. Check out the whole collection here.
The Range
Inspired by her love of rainbow colours and bold stripes, our lighting range features a brass Table Lamp, and our beloved ‘Arc’ Pendant and Wall Sconce, all in a matt acrylic pastel rainbow version. Just in time for Christmas gift planning, these are an Etsy exclusive only available until the 31st December, or until stock runs out!
Good Homes interview:
Could you tell us a bit about your career so far?
I have been in fashion for over 15 years since graduating from Central St Martins in Fashion Print. I launched my label after having my second daughter approximately two years ago. I felt there was a gap in the market for contemporary colourful womenswear clothing. It all started with the rainbow sequin skirt and the rest as they say is history!
What made you want to get into interiors?
There is a really strong connection between colour and print and interiors. I think all my surface designs lend themselves really well to interiors with many requests from customers, friends and family to develop interiors. I like the fact that a lot of customers can buy into the brand through this Etsy collaboration.
For you, is the relationship between fashion and interiors a natural one?
Yes for sure. It felt like a natural evolution for the brand to work with Etsy on this range. My prints look super strong on a variety of homeware items from notebooks to lights. It shows the versatility of my prints and the power of colour.
Why did you want to collaborate with Etsy?
Etsy have such a personable feel and working directly with each lovely seller on each item that they have such expertise in meant we could really bring all my ideas to life while retaining their identities as Etsy sellers.
What inspired the new collection?
Rainbows and the happy vibes are the core of inspiration for this range. We want to bring light and positivity into the home; special pieces that make you smile. We have exposed bright bold stripes which have become a signature for the brand as well as more subtle pastel ombre cushions.Olivia Rubin x Etsy collection is available to shop now exclusively on Etsy: www.etsy.com/featured/olivia-rubin
