While the majority of her designs exist in the fashion and accessories realm, Orla Kiely has plenty of home furnishings in her arsenal, too. Her iconic patterns can be found on wallpaper, lampshades and textiles. It looks like Orla Kiely is expanding with a store in New York that will include an expanded housewares line...
"The store will most likely be in SoHo, in the region of 3,000 square feet, and will house the complete Orla Kiely offering.""The Orla Kiely homewears line, which will include furniture, cushions, ceramics and bedding, will be sold through all the company’s freestanding stores, Heal’s furniture stores in the U.K. and will also be available for wholesale. Rowan was mum on details about pricing and aesthetics."
