Press Release Body: Ethical children's interiors company, Olli & Lime, has just launched a range of contemporary wallpaper and soft furnishings to appeal to children of all ages.
The six stylish collections are aimed at parents with an eye for design, who want fun bedroom or playroom furnishings for their children, without compromising on style.
Eco-conscious Olli & Lime also meets customers' growing environmental concerns. Materials in the soft furnishings range are made from a 60%/40% environmentally sound bamboo/cotton mix. Wallpaper is digitally printed to order, so there is no wastage and no washout from inks to go back into the water table.
The Range
Little George and Little Billie The wallpaper and soft furnishings designs for babies and small children are based on two charismatic cartoon characters. 'Little George' is a brightly coloured, mischievous, funky looking cow (as featured on Channel 4's Grand Designs) and 'Little Billie' is an outrageously dressed, eccentric moose.
George and Billie 'George', featuring a buzzy bee and 'Billie', with bold, colourful flowers, are alphabet and number based ranges, encouraging toddlers to count and spell.
Bedding and cushions co-ordinate with not only the 'George' and 'Billie' wallpapers but also complement the 'Little George' and 'Little Billie' collections.
Carrie and Oliver For slightly older children there are two ranges with matching wallpaper and soft furnishings. 'Carrie' is for young girls who adore shoes and shopping and incorporates brightly coloured shoes and bold, contemporary flowers. For sports mad boys, 'Oliver' features football, rugby, tennis, baseball, basketball and cricket, incorporating a clever changing-room style layout.
The entire range is available to purchase online at www.olliandlime.com. Prices start from £60 for duvet and pillow case sets and £40 for cushions.
Further information, images, and interviews are available on request.
Notes to Editors
Olli & Lime is an ethical, eco-conscious designer of contemporary children's bedroom furnishings. Formed to address a gap in the market, Olli & Lime supplies products to meet the tastes of modern-minded parents with an eye for design.
The company's ethos is about great design, high-quality manufacturing, and eco-friendly materials. Olli & Lime take an ethical position on the environment and recycle wherever possible, also using recyclable packaging; in the form of unbleached, unprinted Kraft paper.
Wallpaper is digitally printed to order, meaning no wastage of paper or inks. Soft furnishings are made using a 60%/40% bamboo/cotton mix; far less harmful to the environment than traditional materials.
Olli & Lime is a newly formed company, borne out of opportunity. The big break came when the company's design director was invited to produce an interior wall covering for the Grand Designs' 'Cheltenham House' (Channel 4, 16th Jan 2008). The screen debut featured the 'Little George' wallpaper and signalled the start of Olli & Lime.
