OXFORD HOME DEBUTS AT TOP DRAWER

Transport yourself to the first botanic garden in the UK (founded in 1621), at one of the world’s oldest and
most famous Universities. HOME by Oxford University makes its debut at Top Drawer with the Oxford Botanic
Garden collection, and is showcased together with co-ordinating ranges of home fragrance, body care and
stationery on stand L15.
Inspired by original floral illustrations from the University’s archives, the botanic theme flows throughout the
different elements of the collection and manifests as individual illustrations and details, through to repeat
patterns.
Waterlily, Iris and tuberose are the rock stars of the HOME collection; in close-up and wrap-around across
cushions, lampshades, zipped pouches, tote bags, tea towels aprons and oven gloves. Rich plum and purple
tones mix with iconic Oxford Blue, delicate pinks, leafy greens and archive cream; a curated abundance of
colour to complement the seasonal jewel colours of autumn/winter and fresh notes of spring/summer.
A contrasting geometric design based on a structural detail of the University’s Sheldonian Theatre also
features, creating a further level of authenticity and provenance as well as eye-catching relief.
The HOME range by Oxford University is made in the UK.
