Lexington
Our main source of inspiration has been a traveler’s handbook over New England dated in 1899, which we stumbled upon in a second-hand bookshop. Some of the patterns in the collection are direct interpretations of this historical journey through maps and magazine cutouts.
All of the names pay tribute to the legendary writers of New England. And, true to our legacy, the prints have that tactile, fabric like surface reminiscent of soft linen shirts and bath towels hanging to dry from a sun bleached porch. Welcome to our world! Welcome to our dream!
Louisa
Lexington Company started out making bed linen from shirt material. Louisa is a homage to the classic striped work shirt. The design is printed using an engraving technique and has a fabric-like texture that softens the shirt stripes and gives the room a warm, pleasant feel.
Herman
Herman is a classic mussel pattern that is very contemporary. The design comes from a small detail in the Harriet medallion pattern that we liked so much we turned it into a whole new wallpaper.
Dan
Stripes form the basis of New England style and Lexington’s identity. This broad block stripe is classic, yet at the same time incredibly modern. Dan is printed using an old collograph printing technique and has a wonderful surface in both the light and dark colourways.
Stephen
Stripes form the basis of New England style and Lexington’s identity. Stephen originates from a pin-striped man’s shirt that Lexington used as inspiration for their bed linen.
New England
The New England map comes from the chapter on New England in The United States Baedeker’s Handbook for Travelers from 1899 and is a historical survey of New England and the town of Lexington. The map is digitally printed and forms a picture or wall decoration that can be hung like wallpaper with a dimension of 135 x 186 cm.
Boston Harbour
The map is digitally printed and forms a picture or wall decoration that can be hung like wallpaper with a dimension of 225 x 174 cm. It is ideal to hang above a sofa in a living room, above a desk in an office or in a children’s room, for example.
