Nala design (Kunst)

*****
I mentioned in a post yesterday that I have a new company to share with you that hasn’t been featured online yet so it’s time for a little show ‘n tell. This was sent over by my dear blogger friend Irene Hoofs from Bloesem. Are you ready to see something shiny and new? Meet Nala Design, a new stationery and home decor line from Malaysia founded by Irene’s friend Lisette Scheers.

Her patterns are inspired by Malaysia’s melting pot of Chinese, Malay and Indian culture. Nala means successful in Swahili and is also the name of Lisette’s daughter. Lisette first started her company as a way to revive the forgotten art of letter writing and, “Began modestly with a collection of stationery based on Straits Chinese motifs.” She decided to branch out to include homewares (mostly pillows at this point) and this is her debut in the blogosphere so I hope that you’ll welcome her with open, supportive arms. I imagine she is reading this thinking, “Wow, there are my products on some blog called decor8!”. When I’m blogging I always wonder what the people on the other side of the screen are thinking – especially those whom I’m writing about, ha ha!

Irene styled the photo shoot in her home showing the collection and she did a beautiful job showcasing these colorful, happy products. Irene’s beautiful styling work looks great – good job, Mrs. Hoofs! As a side note, I saw Irene’s home recently in a big magazine, I cannot recall which one, and I nearly died of shock. Irene lives like a celebrity, her home is gorgeous, really! I had major home envy after seeing that feature.

If you like what you see, you can purchase from her web shop and she will ship anywhere in the world.
