One of the booths at the NYIGF that I was eager to check out was John Robshaw. I’m a huge fan of his ethnic block printed textiles and I especially love his bedding collections so imagine my delight when I approached his booth and found John himself making one of the display beds! A consummate perfectionist, John was re-making the bed because, as he says, “the quilt wasn’t laying quite right.” (I snapped a few photos of him in action so I could study his technique – He likes to stack his pillows, FYI!)
Robshaw’s booth showcased his bedding, bath, pillows, tabletop, travel, clothing, window coverings and giftables for spring and as usual his latest offerings for are perfection!
The bedding seen here is a new introduction called Matar. That sublime coral color was seen all over the spring fashion runways and now you can incorporate it into your home too! I think Robshaw’s choice of patterns and colors are always stunning!
This bed featured a mix of patterns but my favorite is the one near the front with the green, periwinkle and marigold colored Indian floral pattern called Ludoli. The others are a mix of Gent’s Stripe, Stitched (solid white with the moss green embroidery) and Metallic linen which can all be found at JohnRobshaw.com.
I loved this colorful mix of cotton ikat pillows. (I told you ikat isn’t over!)
The pillows on the left here feature hand painted Indian inspired floral and animal motifs while the black and white pillows on the right showcase traditional African mudcloth prints.
I also really like the idea of mixing a few of these colorful picture frames in with your traditional silver frames – it would make for an eclectic display of your family photos!
John’s inspiration for these stylish cotton and canvas travel bags was Jack Nicholson’s voyage through the Sahara in the movie The Passenger.
There were also plenty of travel pouches, passport covers, luggage tags and chic stationery travel accessories and accessories and paper goods. You can shop the entire John Robshaw spring collection here.

Hey there Nicole! Just discovered your blog through a #FF on twitter. Good stuff! Love Robshaw and can’t wait to read through older posts. 🙂 Erica (Moth Design)
PS- I’m crazy for that headboard.
I’ve always loved Robshaw’s prints but I don’t have any. That has to change now because I have to say I LOVE the elephant pillow (next to the black and white). And I agree that some of the print picture frames would look amazing mixed in with the normal silver and such. I’m off to check out the website.
Love the pillows. Absolutely great.
Have a beautiful week.
