THE MODERN COLLECTION
2021 sees the launch of the ‘The Modern Collector’ collection of fabrics and wallpapers, celebrating Liberty’s historic love of craftsmanship and design. Archival Liberty prints have been reinterpreted and reworked, appearing alongside new contemporary artwork created in our London design studio – for the next generation of iconic Liberty interiors.

The Modern Collector collection emphasises surface: glossy and matte effects are carefully balanced with lines and tones, bold colours and shades, and beautiful, unexpected textures. The collection features manufacturing processes that have been carefully selected to bring out the character of each design. By combining skilful design with artisanal printing and weaving techniques, the process informs the designs, and vice versa, in a perfect harmony between art and craftsmanship.

The result is a collection that combines craftsmanship with powerful narrative depth, reflecting the beauty and quality of heritage fabrics with a fresh, contemporary appeal.

The Modern Collector range is the next chapter in our story, bringing the vibrancy of Liberty aesthetics to interiors with three pillars of design heritage as inspiration: Floribunda, Art Nouveau and the Tree of Life.

Liberty has always appealed to the heart and spirit of collectors – those with a passion for heirloom pieces that transcend generations. The Modern Collector is dedicated to these enthusiasts, both past and present.

Fascinated by exquisite textiles and objets d’art acquired during his travels around the world, founder Arthur Lasenby Liberty was the ultimate collector. He imagined the Liberty store as a great ship, filled with treasures and moored in the streets of London. Inspired by Arthur, the spirit of the collector lives on.

Vanina Henry presents LIBERTY in her projects

Committed to the brand, British style and its history, Liberty has become the brand that Vanina Henry wants to showcase.

When she visits London, she selects the fabrics and wallpapers she wants to offer in her projects. She knows that this English flair will appeal to her Anglo-Saxon clients. Her clients ask her for floral fabrics for their children’s bedrooms and also for matching wallpaper.

There is a wide choice available and the collections can now be viewed in the showroom.
