Liberty's fabric business proves that pattern and color are back

Founded in London in the 19th century, Liberty has always been known for its embrace of bold and daring style. Oscar Wilde called it “the chosen resort of the artistic shopper,” a reputation that stuck for 150 years—today, Liberty is one of the most-visited stores in London. In recent years, the brand has been known more for fashion than home, but head of design for Liberty Interiors Genevieve Bennett has been tasked to revitalize the interiors fabric business, and she’s been on a tear, overseeing new collections that tap the company’s incredible archive while looking ahead to the future.  In this episode, host Dennis Scully speaks with Bennett about how Liberty approaches design for different regions around the world, why they’re being cautious about performance fabrics, and the good news that color and pattern are officially back.   This episode is sponsored by Ernesta and KohlerLINKSLiberty InteriorsGenevieve BennettDennis ScullyBusiness of Home
