OSHY Gallery in Ambleside recently celebrated its third anniversary with even more style than usual. On 1 December 2005, they launch a brand new, exclusive range of furnishings. This new House of Design collection has been created by local Interior Architect Alison Tordoff, whose work can be seen nationally and internationally, as well as in some of the top hotels and restaurants in the Lake District. Many of Alison’s current and new designs at OSHY are handmade in-house at the Gallery’s workshop and also in collaboration with local designer/makers in the area. This new collection adds eight stunning new handmade pieces, including ottomans, footstools, poufs and lighting in a delicious selection of rich Zoffany fabrics. Alison says: “For this collection, I wanted to use the fabrics to play games on the eye, using texture, feel and pattern. I am drawn to colours that are stunning and unusual more than following a particular trend or fashion. Attention to detail is an essential part of my work. It might be a small row of stitching or a special type of fitting. That is what sets my pieces apart!” OSHY’s ethos was inspired by the strength, quality and diversity of local designers work and the richness of local talent that Cumbria offers. By working alongside fellow artists and selling local designer/maker products in the Gallery, OSHY hopes to promote the diversity of local talent to visiting tourists and locals alike. OSHY believes in collective support between local artists. The sharing and production of ideas can only serve to encourage the growth of independent local craftsmanship in Cumbria. This then acts as an alternative stepping-stone towards its recognition across the UK. Ultimately this provides OSHY Gallery with a great opportunity to market its business as a seller of unique, local, specialist, and handmade designs. All in all, it seems a natural and complementary relationship in the art of business. House of Design is available at OSHY Gallery from 1 December, 2005.
