Inspired By: The Great Gatsby

The current movie release of Baz Luhrmann's take on 'The Great Gatsby' is a feast for the eyes with such unbelievable sets and costumes you almost need to see it twice; once to follow the story line and again just to absorb all the visual goodness!

Catherine Martin (wife of Luhrmann) is responsible for the costuming and set design in the film;  her most recent release of interior textiles and wallpapers for Mokum reflects this Art Nouveau, flapper vibe beautifully, as do the range of coordinating rugs that simply exude luxury.

Here are some great finds to help you spice up your home in true Gatsby style, including an amazing room divider screen commissioned by Auckland company Firefly Light & Design, covered in Catherine's 'Antique Lace'.

Think mirrors, metallics, lace and velvet...

A Custom Designed Privacy Screen

Just before Christmas we commissioned our lovely joiner, Terry to make a room dividing/privacy screen for a client of ours.

The timber frame has been lacquered in Resene 'Bianca', and the fabric panel inserts are James Dunlop 'Jardin' poppy on the fronts, with plain, crisp white outdoor grade fabric on the backs to add some protection from the sun reflecting off of Wellington harbour outside.

We were so pleased with how it turned out, and the client was too!
