Natasha Marshall graduated from Glasgow School of Art in Printed and Knitted Fabrics, setting up her fabric company, Squigee in 1997. Her fresh, hand printed designs proved extremely popular with the boutique hotel market and international hospitality venues. In 2004 she re-launched her fabrics and wall coverings under the Natasha Marshall brand at 100% Design, London.
Marshall is inspired by architecture and the urban environment, as well as Britain's historic floral tradition. Her designs are characterised by bold colour combinations and simple abstract patterns. Her playful, style is well suited to the retro trend in domestic interiors, whilst her use of cotton velvets appeals to those wishing to create a sense of luxury in their interiors.
'Starburst' is characteristic of her use of a simple geometric pattern printed on grey cotton velvet, a subtle but luxurious fabric designed to create an air of comfort and warmth.
