The archive, consisting of 500 designs was the inspiration for the first collection of 10 contract upholstery designs. The next collection will feature 25 designs for wallpaper and textiles for both contract and high end residential, Price says. “Our print process enables easy transitioning to numerous substrates,” Price points out. Broadhurst’s work was originally hand screen printed as wallpaper and textiles in her own studio where she was mysteriously found murdered in 1977 at the age of 78. This remains an unsolved crime.
