"For me a fabric is much more than just a means of decoration, so I design each panel for its individual purpose, taking account of the specific architecture and light conditions that will surround it, and it is made to order in this way."
In line with her credo, Lily Latifi, the French-Iranian textile designer, has been creating and making contemporary textiles, contract fabrics and accessories in the Rue des Gardes, Paris since 1999. Her work has been mainly in the private and contract sectors, and it includes custom-made textile solutions in Trevira CS.
Her designs gained Lily Latifi the "Prix Découverte Maison Objet" for innovative textiles in 1999 and since 2001 she has run a showroom, shop and studio in the Rue des Gardes in Paris.
Lily Latifi herself describes her style as "timeless, sober and pure". Yet in so doing, the Franco-Iranian likes to combine contradictory elements in her designs, finding inspiration, for instance, in the contrast between West and East, or of modernity and tradition.
That her work succeeds in uniting grace and elegance with great functionality and technical character is demonstrated by her present catalogue, which appeared recently. Its first external design reflects the puristic line the designer takes.
On a striking red cover only the logo and contact data appear on front and rear sides, in the format of a white CD. Inside can be found 128 pages, mainly of textiles, displaying the current collections for contemporary living with a special aesthetic appeal.
