Tulip Inspired, Midnight Queen

Queen of the Night tulips, in a word, are stunning.  The mesmerizing shade of purple paired with hints of golden pollen and lush greenery directed the color choices for this Martha Washington inspired chair.  Now complete, Midnight Queen will join 23 sister chairs on display at Mitchell Gold Furniture Showroom at the King of Prussia Mall from April 20 - May 9, 2017.  The Philadelphia chapter of the IFDA will host a gala event at The Merion Tribute House on May 10, where the chairs will be auctioned to benefit the Montgomery County Habitat for Humanity.  It was an honor to collaborate with Tie Up Textiles and the Philadelphia IFDA in support of an honorable cause.

I enjoyed designing this chair layout and color palette.  Especially enjoyed collaboration with Tie Up Textiles for textile design and creation.
