T he sumptuous fabrics designed by London- based Paolo Moschino for Nicholas Haslam are now available in the U.S. for the first time, through Lee Jofa. The collection includes 40 patterns, stripes, and florals on linens, velvets, silks, and cottons. In creating the line, Moschino and interior design partner Philip Vergeylen referenced such personal inspirations as their homes, favorite travel memories, and art. Riviere's wavy design, which resembles a Japanese watercolor, was inspired by water damage on the linen draperies in the dining room of the pair's Sussex country house. Palmyra and Roche patterns stem from the designers' admiration of French artist Serge Roche's hand-drawn palm-tree motifs, and they dreamed up basket-weave, twig, and trellis patterns while sketching at their kitchen table. An evening stroll along Capri's historic Via Krupp switchback path was the muse for two geometric patterns.

Rebecca Sherman Beth Webb's new collection for Arteriors 46 T he world needs a bit of TLC at the moment, and Atlanta designer Beth Webb delivers with interiors that are sensory-driven and layered — much like her debut collection of furniture and lighting for Arteriors. Serene tones and richly tactile materials dominate, with more than 30 styles of furniture, lighting, and accessories made from rattan, carved wood, iron, matte ceramics, concrete, and even rope. The casual look works anywhere, from mountain hideout and beach retreat to urban loft. The Jackson lamps and sconces have bases shaped like antlers, only in white resin; the Palmetto console's mahogany frame is enveloped in natural rope; and the Lyford rattan chair brings a bit of the islands home.
