About this deal

Orla Kiely, OBE (born 1963) is an Irish fashion designer based in London. She began her career designing hats, and moved on to design work on handbags and a variety of other items including kitchenware and cars. She received a master's degree from the Royal College of Art. She worked with several companies before setting up her own business.

Using a potato as a stamp, this resource guides pupils through all the stages of the creation process, while allowing them to make independent decisions about their pattern, design and colour. Their vibrant, bold and colourful artwork will brighten up your day, whether it's for a class display or fun activity for home learning. Art at KS1 is about engaging children and inspiring their imaginations, whilst at the same time helping them with skills that will develop more over time. Wasilak, Sarah (28 October 2015).

Give AI a Try!

Kiely’s visually crisp and geometrically disciplined patterns work across clothes, accessories and homeware. This is combined with a particularly broad appeal, zeroing in on that difficult-to-hit sweet spot of delight, commercial success and aesthetic rigour that’s normally the reserve of articulate, perfectly pitched pop music. She has completed two publications entitled Home and Pattern, both published by Conran Octopus. She released a third publication, A Life in Pattern, in early 2018 to coincide with her exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in May.

For Nothdruft, this is all achieved without resorting to pastiche or nostalgia, and places Kiely in a longer trajectory that arcs from the Arts & Crafts Movement through to the mid-­century Modernism of English textile designer Lucienne Day, and the bold, effusive fabric designs of the Finnish company Marimekko. Importantly, at the heart of each of these examples is a holistic approach to design as a way of life, from the small scale of the spoon to the breadth of an entire city as Italian architect Ernesto Rogers once proclaimed, but they are also projects that are inextricably connected with joy. I think that gives us a starting point for a discussion of social context, and I think Orla’s work will become a kind of reference for a certain period in time when it’s viewed in 50 or 100 years from now,” the curator explains.

Looking for something different

Kiely credits her grandmother with being the creative influence in her life. Her father was an accountant; her mother studied science before being forced to give up work by her employers after she married. [2]
