Here I put into practice the idea of designing in context
(bedding).I found this method worked well because it kept me focused on my
overall aim and I intend to reuse it during my development in Unit X. What I
found interesting was creating a single and a double duvet set with the same
design, as during my market research I found that it was common to find designs
ranging from single to king size.
It wasn't a surprise that Children's bedding was commonly
presented on single beds, so when designing I took this into consideration and
designed single bed sets for children and doubles for adults in order to
maintain focus and therefore productivity.
I found that many of the motifs featured on the designs I'd
seen varied in scale, and a few had been used across a variety of different
interior products. I found that Orla Kiely's work kept occurring in the
research I have been undertaking (from Marimekko to John lewis). I thought that
her work achieved similarities to what I am aiming for as the size of the
motifs she uses varies throughout the different products.
