The fashion for textiles, porcelain and furniture decorated with images of birds is back

The ancient Romans painted singing nightingales so realistic that it seemed to the audience that they heard their chirping. Now, such vitality is back in fashion. And the birds depict the most different - from peacocks and cockatoo to ordinary pigeons and jackdaws. Textile designers focused on the plot of the Garden of Eden: surrounded by fragrant flowers and juicy fruits, birds fly with bright plumage. Designers porcelain carried away by the exotic. The novelty of the VILLARI company, for example, is a table decoration in the form of toucans with giant beaks.

This perception of motive is quite traditional. On textile panels in the palace interiors, birds were embroidered with silk threads and bugles, and the figures were produced in famous porcelain manufactories already in the 18th century. Pictures of feathery have long been used in the decoration of furniture. Modern designers went further, interpreting the motive literally: for example, cabinets in the form of ... ostrich or peacocks began to appear. Such objects are perceived as a game, a joke and will fit perfectly into the interiors in the spirit of pop art. Separately, we recommend furniture and accessories with the silhouette of a flying bird - it looks fresh and poetic. Here at the headquarters of Twitter in San Francisco, for example, not only the walls, but even the desktops of employees are decorated with such images.
