Designer Clarissa Hulse is well known for her distinctive hand and her passion for colour and texture. This is her second collaboration with Harlequin, and she draws inspiration from a variety of influences including her enduring passion for plants, flowers and landscapes seen on long country walks, a nomadic childhood and her half-Greek heritage. For Callista, which means ‘most beautiful’ in ancient Greek, she has created a collection of woven fabrics, printed silks and wallpapers that display Clarissa’s trademark style: contemporary botanical designs coupled with intense colour.

Layers of swaying Wiltshire meadow grasses inspired this Meadow Grass 111408 wallpaper, £65 a roll.

Wallpaper foreground: Angeliki 111402, £65 a roll, features giant fennel silhouettes, first spotted by Clarissa on a deserted hillside in southern Greece.
The wallpaper in the back room was inspired by acacia leaves found on Highbury Fields. It’s called Espinillo 111394, and is £69 a roll.

The exquisite fabrics include a silk and cotton mix jacquard weave, silk dupion prints and a beautiful dip-dyed voile. Clarissa’s love for colour is reflected in the Callista collection, where rich emerald, moss and forest greens are introduced to complement her trademark shades of kingfisher, neon pink, paprika, slate, turmeric and zinc. Her bold wallpapers are all printed on non-woven paper, which can be applied directly to a ready-pasted wall, making it very easy to hang.

Callista is available via Harlequin’s network of stockists both nationally and internationally. For stockists tel: 00 44 (0)845 123 6805
