DURALEE PROUDLY PARTNERS WITH CLODAGH FOR THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST
DESIGNER COLLECTION OF EARTH FRIENDLY TEXTILES FOR THE HOME
    |
BAY SHORE, New York - Clodagh is widely recognized as a design leader committed to the "green movement", creating stunning properties with materials that reflect her experiences and spirituality. In a "natural" progression, Clodagh has teamed up with the fabric experts at Duralee to create GLOBAL PASSAGE, an earth-friendly textile collection for the home, launching in October 2009. From organic cottons to recycled polys and renewable bamboo, this beautifully designed collection has the look and feel of a high-end residential fabric collection, while maintaining the earth-conscious philosophy that both Clodagh and Duralee have committed to in an effort to reduce our imprint on the environment. World-renowned for designing spaces and products that enliven the senses and engage the imagination, Clodagh has been licensing product for more than a decade. Utilizing all of the elements of earth and stone, the sounds of water, the glowing light of fire, feel of wood, edge of metal and tone and colors of nature, Clodagh's professional trajectory has remained steadfast: to remain true to herself and to produce quality, inspirational and life enhancing design. She passionately believes that good design can support wellbeing. Constantly seeking to learn more about materials in order to push the boundaries of design, her pioneering use of Feng Shui, Chromotherapy, Biophilia, and sustainable materials has enriched her projects with an unmistakable look, structure and flow that appeals to all the human senses. A constant proponent for creating relationships with companies sharing her beliefs in philanthropy, environmental mindfulness and human rights, Clodagh has closely aligned herself with some of the most responsible as well as popular manufacturers in the industry. The fabrics of Clodagh's GLOBAL PASSAGE collection exclusively for Duralee were designed just as Clodagh designs her environments: carefully considered contents with every thread and color chosen for its ability to enhance its surroundings and provide balance. Practical and sensual with a sense of comfort that is not only tactile but also visual, the fabrics featured in the 5 color books of GLOBAL PASSAGE inspire individuality and promote rejuvenation. Beginning the color series, the Curry/Jasper color book follows the transition of a fall leaf, from soft gold to deeper crimson. The restorative Cardamom/Grass color book eases the psyche with therapeutic shades of green, while Azure/Reef cleanses the senses with cool aqua and indigo tones. The Charcoal/Pepper color book evolves from luminescent silver to infinite charcoal, and Natural/Peaberry closes the collection with a range of pure crème to a rich bark colorway.
