Colour That Changes With the Light We have collaborated with Brixton-based natural dyers Ceres on an installation for our window displays. Inspired by our seasonal concept, A Lightness of Being, they have made 200 unique panels by hand. Creating a free and playful array of patterns, they used dyes made from foraged plants, byproducts and kitchen scraps such as weld, avocado, pomegranate and nettle. Founded by Lara Mantell and Flo Hawkins, their studio in Brixton is a working space, with a long table made from recycled wood and wool felt, tubs of hand-mixed dye pastes, and vibrant fabric strung along the wall, the light dancing through like stained glass. They print their signature geometric patterns using hand-cut paper stencils and screen mesh - it’s a process led as much by intuition as by design. “We reuse stencils and scrape everything, so there is never much waste at all,” says Flo. You can view our shop window displays from 1 May, and find out more about Ceres’ natural dye on the #TOASTMagazine via the link in bio.
