Fields
By Fiona Lynch
Fields is a collection of Fiona Lynch designed goat-hair rugs with geometric forms and dynamic colour palettes chosen from tretford’s range. The jigsaw-like patterns are inspired by geographical references, aerial views of crops and other defining influences in Fiona Lynch’s life. The patterns, dynamic compositions and colours remind Fiona of 1960s New York Colour Field painters like Barnett Newman. The designs are also a nostalgic reminder of looking over the fence from her childhood home to see the triangle-shaped colour blocks of architect Peter McIntyre’s iconic River House floating in the natural landscape. The Fields collection continues a modernist approach with its geometric forms and strong use of colour.
Fiona Lynch has had a long association with tretford and its Australian agent Gibbon Architectural through creating bespoke tretford goat-hair rugs for her interior design clients. However, it was an abstract, geometric-patterned rug with pops of yellow and magenta that she designed and commissioned for a Melbourne client that inspired this collaboration. The process has been a melding of creativity where curated colours from the tretford palette and experimental shapes by Fiona Lynch have come together like a jigsaw to create a signature range of rugs.
