Archive Allsorts celebrates Libertys large archival collection of books with fabric swatches. The design takes a small leaf design from one book as its ground, as well as hand-written labels from many others all combined into a beautiful new pattern.
As a designer I have always been intrigued by the labels and fascinated by the variation in their style, as well as their exquisite handwriting. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate these often-overlooked items within our archive. Ffion Griffith, Senior Designer
The Archivists Edit is curated by our legendary archivist Anna Buruma, the protector and custodian of Libertys design history for over 20 years. Encompassing 20 beautiful prints, the capsule collection shines a light into the more unusual and lesser-known corners of Libertys archive. Fragile fragments and half-forgotten artworks are regenerated into new designs by the in-house artists, drawing inspiration from Burumas favourite periods within the brands 145-year timeline as well as from across her own life and history.
