Ellie Hocking, RAINBOW POP #105, 2022. Iridescent vinyl, acrylic, suedette and glitter collage on paper, 29.7 x 42cm. Courtesy:the artist.

This contemporary collage by Ellie Hocking calls for a space with unique and timeless furniture; a space where elements are balanced and harmonious. A Henry Wilson conical wall light on either side of the artwork would highlight and accentuate the rhythmic collage while an antique Turkish Isparta rug adds character with soft cream florals and a luxurious silky texture. A travertine coffee table designed by Martin Masse and two elegant Margas LC1 lounge chairs by & tradition give a further richness of texture and add warmth to this unique space.
