​​​​The Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh presents an exhibition titled ‘Plant Scenery of the World.’ at Inverleigh House.
There’s a variety of art ranging from the new and emerging artists to the well established, with some being commissioned by the RGBE.
The exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic modernist Glasshouses, opened in 1967 for the collection of house plants in tropical, temperate, rainforest and arid lands by Scottish explorers.
Art on display demonstrates the way plants are used as symbols, reflect on captivity and false habitats. They also consider changing attitudes towards exploration and display, mindful of historical narratives dominated by Western Imperial exploration.
This particular display really echoes the current green scene and tropical trend of which you will find reflected within the Woven Edge Floral collection.

This exhibition examines the work and legacy of influential Spanish fashion designer Cristóbal Balenciaga, with over 100 pieces crafted by ‘the master’ of couture, the exhibition also includes work from his protégées and contemporary fashion designers who work in the same innovative tradition.
Its an unmissable chance to see some of the greatest fashion of our time up close so don’t miss out and book your tickets now.

​From bright chartreuse hues down to deep seaweed, all shades of green are creating a stir for this year and will no doubt grow into 2018 also. Tropical tones allow for juicy accents of saffron, teal and coral amongst many other brights injecting a spectrum of colour into a room. Interiors see walls coming to life, filled with foliage and hidden jungle life. Pantone believes “Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.”

Cole and Son have an inspiring and fun filled range of wallcovering named the Ardmore Collection celebrating African traditions and culture. Exotic flora and fauna create a natural
landscape of pattern and add an eye-catching look. We love the everlasting discovery of pattern through wildlife.
Go bold and taste the freedom of outdoor living!
