Paper Houses Design
Paper Houses Design was created by textile designer Mhairi Allan; a stationary collecting, orange obsessing, triangle loving designer, with a calling to geometrics.
Her sketches are developed into surface patterns which are designed to transcend seasons. This local designer takes inspiration from man-made structures found within our surrounding landscape. She takes often-overlooked structures and creates bold and stylish patterns.
The products she designs are created to be both practical and versatile and are made for everyday use.
