Camille Walala x FLOOR_STORY launches!
Camille Walala is one of design’s hottest talents, famed for her powerful digital prints and signature Tribal POP style full of boundless energy. So you can imagine how excited we are to have collaborated with Camille on four rug designs that capture her effervescent approach to textile design.

DARKROOM
Darkroom is an independent online shop and design label owned by Lulu Roper-Caldbeck and Rhonda Drakeford. Our goal is to provide a stimulating antidote to the generic and bland, whilst also recognising the basic human desire for beauty and comfort. We believe that good design should be accessible to all and can come from the most unlikely corners of the world.

Sunny Todd Prints
Design duo, Sunny Todd Prints, are the latest creative talents to join the FLOOR_STORY Designer Collection, celebrating bright and wonderful human aided design without a computer in sight. A process that sees each shape drawn, cut and laid by hand gives a beautiful irregularity to Sunny Todd Prints designs; charming, bold and graphic with an energy and spirit that’s delightfully contagious.
