design done right: emma lawrenson, little print press

Good design is hard to come by and that is why the series Design Done Right exists. The purpose of this series is to expose lesser-known designers, as well as showcase some of the more well-known ones because they are just that good. From paper goods to art prints, web design and typography - we embrace the method to the madness (seriously, have you met a designer?) and wholeheartedly encourage it to continue.

While on the hunt for geometric abstract artwork we found Emma Lawrenson. Not only are these beauties abstract, they're original handmade screenprints! Everyone may not rejoice over that, but we sure do! First we browsed the Etsy shop, then her website, and then we started trying to learn more about the designer.

One bit of info we knew we had to share when we stumbled upon it? Lawrenson's work has recently been featured on Mad Men, one of our favorites! We would be liars if we didn't admit that it drew us to her work that much more. The colors, the shapes, the simplicity of it all make these pieces perfect for any room in the home or even an office.

We feel like it's worth noting that some of the pieces in her shop may seem pricey, but even Lawrenson notes that her Etsy prices are lower than if you purchased elsewhere. And don't forget - you're paying for original artwork - no one else will have a piece like yours! (We would buy them all up if we could!) There is also a sale section.

You can visit her Etsy seller profile here if you're looking for a bit more info about this designer, as well as her website and blog.

We have a soft spot for folk art-meets-modern design, something that is becoming increasingly popular. One of our favorite designers of this style is Leah Duncan. While scouring the web for decorative tea towels some months ago her name began cropping up. A little further research led to the discovery of her blog and shop. Her work has a very distinct look and feel, inspired by both her location and heritage.

Art print, pillows, scarves - Leah Duncan offers a little bit of everything and we want it all! We recently learned that her lovely designs in soft, delicate color palettes are not only offered via handmade and boutique shops, but some products are distributed by Target and Urban Outfitters, making her work even more widely accessible.

Good design is hard to come by and that is why the series Design Done Right exists. The purpose of this series is to expose lesser-known designers, as well as showcase some of the more well-known ones because they are just that good. From paper goods to art prints, web design and typography - we embrace the method to the madness (seriously, have you met a designer?) and wholeheartedly encourage it to continue.

Today we're sharing a great find - the small independent studio Inaluxe, residing in Australia. We love the bright colors, neutral details, and abstract elements that define Inaluxe. You can order a colorful nature-themed prints in a range of sizes and prices from their shop, or if you're lucky enough to live in New Zealand you can shop the endemic world pop up store.

The duo behind Inaluxe states: "We believe if you're going to do something, do it well, and make sure it stands the test of time." That's a message we can get behind.
