Every pattern has a story: Internationally recognized designer Iván Meade launches an exquisite, Parisian-inspired follow-up to his eponymous fabric line

by | Aug 24, 2015 |

For immediate release: August 24, 2015 Victoria, BC — Internationally recognized designer Iván Meade’s new fabric line is the culmination of 15 years in the design industry and an expression of his personal aesthetic of timeless European methodology with a sophisticated, modern edge. One of Meade’s fundamental design mantras is a phrase his mother would often use: “Find luxury in what you touch every day.” This deep-rooted philosophy is revealed in the splendid textures and patterns of the news line.     France, its people, and their way of life have always intrigued and inspired Meade. For the latest release of his eponymous fabric line, Meade continues his personal narrative with a distinct je ne sais quoi. To perfectly capture his vision, Meade used the Parisian influence to photograph this exciting new line in a beautiful French light. Mariposa is an ode to Meade’s beloved mother, Maria Celia, and embraces her style of modern interpretations of old classics. The traditional toile-influenced motif when printed against a soft, Rosa background creates an unexpected beauty.     Vista Hermosa is inspired by the tile patterns in Meade’s grandparents’ neoclassical home in San Luis Potosi and is all at one geometric, feminine, and modern. Reminiscent of lace or leatherwork, it is a versatile, mid-scale pattern. Meade’s extensive experience in graphic, industrial, and interior design has provided him with distinctive insight into the intricacies of fabric design, allowing him to create a cotton-linen line that is not only unique, but also precisely meets the requirements of interior designers and appeals to the most discerning tastes.     In addition to the limitless combinations...

¡Cada estampado tiene una historia!: El reconocido diseñador mexicano Iván Meade radicado en Canadá, lanza al mercado su homónima línea de telas para uso residencial

by | Dec 5, 2014 |

La nueva línea homónima de telas para uso residencial del reconocido diseñador mexicano Iván Meade es una expresión de su estética personal y sus quince años de experiencia como diseñador multidisciplinario.  Diseñadas con la tradicional metodología Europea, sus telas reflejan una sofisticada influencia de lo moderno y actual. Uno de los mantras en el diseño de Meade, es una frase aprendida de su madre a temprana edad y que utiliza a menudo:  “El verdadero lujo esta en aquello que tocas todos los días”.  Esta filosofía es representada en las exquisitas texturas y estampados de la innovadora línea. Más aún, los diseños en los estampados son una narrativa personal y cada uno refleja parte importante de las experiencias de vida del diseñador.     “Grabado”. Es un pequeño homenaje a la técnica de Grabado en lámina de cobre (favorita del diseñador) y al reconocido grabador: Matthäus Merian (1593-1650) a quién Meade admira. Con un ojo innovador, Meade alargo la escala de una pequeña sección del grabado para así convertir un momento mínimo en algo mucho más memorable.  Grabado, es una hermosa declaración que cuando se empareja con su contraparte, crea un efecto de espejo al reflejar la otra cara de la tela.  Cuando la tela se utiliza en cortinas recrea la ilusión de un libro abierto.  Grabado se encuentra disponible en 5 colores (Carbón, Paloma, Miel, Cenote y Marino) y es la tela punta de lanza de la colección.     “Mariposa”. Es un homenaje a la madre del mexicano: María Celia T. de Meade, y es una interpretación contemporánea de lo clásico.  Con una influencia dentro del Toile Du...

Every pattern has a story: Internationally recognized designer Iván Meade launches a stunning new fabric line

For immediate release: November 18, 2014 Victoria, BC — Internationally recognized designer Iván Meade’s new fabric line is the culmination of 20 years in the design industry and an expression of his personal aesthetic of timeless European methodology with a sophisticated, modern edge. One of Meade’s fundamental design mantras is a phrase his mother would often use: “Find luxury in what you touch every day.” This deep-rooted philosophy is revealed in the splendid textures and patterns of the new line.     But there is more: the fabrics are a personal narrative, with each pattern representing an important part of Meade’s own life experience. For example, Grabado is an homage to one of Iván’s favourite artists, Matthäus Merian (1593-1650), and is a pattern that has been used in much of Meade Design Group’s branding. A bold choice that makes a beautiful statement, Grabado is book matched — mirrored fabric panels that give the impression of an open book — and available in five colour ways (Carbón, Paloma, Miel, Cenote, and Marino).     Mariposa is an ode to Meade’s beloved mother, Maria Celia, and embraces her style of modern interpretations of old classics. The traditional toile-influenced motif juxtaposed against a crisp Carbón ground creates an unexpected beauty.     Vista Hermosa is inspired by the tile patterns in Meade’s grandparents’ neoclassical home in San Luis Potosi and is all at once geometric, feminine, and modern. Reminiscent of lace or leatherwork, it is a versatile, mid-scale pattern available in all five colour ways.     Meade’s family history is in silver mining, and Pirita is a modern interpretation of silver nuggets. Sophisticated...
