    C l a essens
    Director of
    photography at
    Bru Textiles

    Tell us more about what you do. Im in charge


    of the visual productions. That includes
    coordination, finding locations and props, and
    being creative when things go wrong during
    photo shoots.
    How do you pick locations for photo shoots?
    Im fond of raw, concrete interiors, and those
    that are in touch with nature, and with the
    outside. For outdoor fabric collections, I usually
    go to Ibiza or Spain because they have good
    weather even in winter, there is good light,
    and it doesnt rain frequently.
    How do you filter the inspiration you get from
    visiting large design exhibitions? It depends
    on what youre looking for and what youre
    interested in. I go with a very open mind. I also
    put a personal touch on everything I do, drawing
    inspiration not only from the interiors world, but
    also from the people and architecture around
    me. Im interested in art and photography, too.
    Its really a combination of environments,
    how we are living, and how we should live
    in the future.

    Most homeowners have a hard time choosing


    fabrics based on tiny swatches. Do you have
    any tips on how they can visualise better?
    I understand because I find it difficult, too.
    Ive learnt to ask to see the fabric on a roll
    before proceeding, to lessen the chance of
    surprises when the materials arrive. But, for
    homeowners, I think its best to see the fabric
    swatch in the sample book (which are usually
    in larger pieces).
    What are the interiors of your home like? As I
    deal with colour and design all the time, I need
    a calming atmosphere to come home to, and
    I dont like interiors where everything is full of
    props. So my home is quite light, there are a
    lot of white walls, but the kitchen palette is very
    dark. And I accent the space with velour, prints,
    cushions and carpets.
    What are some upcoming fabric trends?
    Fabrics are becoming more technical. Examples
    can be seen in the Velvet Opulence collection
    from Bru Textiles, where they are a combination
    of soft velvets with metallic finishing, making it
    sophisticated but also industrial. Ive also seen
    fabric colours that are made up of a subtle blend
    of many colours which fade into each other.

    One of the interior


    trends that Nancy
    forsees is the use
    of nostalgic
    elements within
    a contemporary
    setting, in a
    romantic yet
    modern approach.
    f a r r i g ht

    Sheer fabrics,
    natural light
    and the merging
    of indoor and
    outdoor spaces are
    elements she uses
    to create spaces
    where people
    can unwind.
