John Robshaw is a master of many things – textiles, tradition, color, pattern – and (apparently) it was all by accident. Mr. Robshaw was experimenting with traditional Indian block printing techniques and building pieces of glorious artwork when a friend suggested using his creations for upholstery. The aesthetic of John Robshaw’s textiles and products was born.

As any textile lover knows, Robshaw’s ability to flawlessly combine pattern, texture, and color through fresh evolutions of ancient techniques is the epitome of perfection. Robshaw has embellished his home with the same creative mixture of elements. This visual feast of ethnic pieces sprinkled with Robshaw products is the country home of the wildly talented designer. Though the property lies in bucolic Connecticut, the history of India lines the walls and floors.

Mr. Robshaw, I am available to grovel at your feet (and house-sit) at your earliest convenience.
