White stuff

RIGBY & MAC offers a combined product range from three lifestyle stores that is now available online. Country style, eclectic design and vintage feminine looks in furniture, fashion and home wares have been brought together from three separate outlets on one website. We love this distressed white carved wooden standard lamp. A lovely wintry, shabby chic addition to

living spaces.

What’s on

DESIGNER Laura Spring takes the inspiration for her fabric designs from everyday experiences such as the weather. Glasgow-based Laura, a graduate of Glasgow School of Art, has developed symbols and motifs relating to the weather into graphic fabric designs. She prints her own fabric in her Pollokshields studio, working with a tailor to custom make her products. Her current focus is on the relationship between print and its function through the design and production of a range of bespoke luggage and clothing.
