‘Frame’ is the outcome of a collaboration between Jennifer and Derek Welsh, a Glasgow-based designer and maker of contemporary furniture and interiors

Although working in different specialisms the two designers share an interest in graphics, fashion and art and strive to make beautiful items to wear, use and enjoy. The ‘Frame’ pattern comes from a 2D diagram of a timber roof construction found in a book which Derek used while serving his carpentry apprenticeship. The design was then developed through the to-ing and fro-ing, via email and in person, of ideas, sketches, collages and discussions.  The geometric nature of the roof detail was well suited to the creation of a repeat pattern which was then translated into a knitted fabric. The final pieces - a throw and a scarf - reflect the thoughtful research and design process which is so important to both Jennifer and Derek.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point

when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
