Obsessed: Suki Cheema Home

A new line of bright and boldly-patterned textiles launches at NYIGF

One exceptional new line to launch at the New York International Gift Fair was Suki Cheema Home, and like many of the guests in attendance, your ShelterPop editors became instant fans. Suki Cheema Home's booth was filled with irresistible pillows, quilts, rugs, throws, table linens and tea towels, all made in striking, bold prints.

Suki Cheema, a textile designer, designs this line of hand silk-screened fabrics. Looking at his graphic, colorful prints, you can easily see Cheema once worked at Diane von Furstenberg -- right? Cheema says his designs in this first collection are also influenced by his travels to India, and he hopes to have a place-specific theme for each of his future collections.

Cheema describes Suki Cheema Home as a meeting of art, travel and textiles "to be cherished as modern day heirlooms." These fresh patterns were a truly delightful new find -- and Cheema himself a wonderfully friendly and enthusiastic designer. We can't wait to watch this brand grow and evolve!
