VUE

Cope will present certain finished goods, such as pillows, so our clients will be able to have a taste of this vision without the requirement of installing a custom wall mural. What was the inspiration behind each of the four designs? Every collection begins with a spark of inspiration. Landscapes, scientific phe- nomena and artistic practices all come into the picture here. Specifically, we drew inspiration from the stunning flo- ral arrangements by Brooklyn designer Saipua and the landscapes around the Hudson Valley, where we recently bought a weekend home. Aurora is an existing Calico Wallpaper design that has also been carefully trans- lated to fabric for the Cope launch. e pattern is designed to immerse viewers in waves and washes of gradient color, drawing heavily from shibori and ombré fabric dyeing techniques. Each Aurora pattern is a study in the relationship be- tween light, color, place and mood. We are excited about the warm and ca- sual simplicity of the Palette print. It re- minds me [Nick] of Rachel in the studio, where dabs of paint land on the furniture and floors. Flora reminds us of weekends in upstate New York walking through the nature preserve and picking wildflowers. Our goal was to translate this feeling of being connected to the outdoors and bal- ancing realism with abstraction. How do you see the company growing down the line? We expect to continue to add a hand- ful of new patterns into the line season- ally and will be selling silk scarves on the Cope website. We also have a few exciting expansions in the pipeline!
