Allegra Hicks references the elements for Lee Jofa

Allegra Hicks's latest collection for Groundworks is now on view at Lee Jofa. The itinerant designer, raised in Italy and based in London, drew inspiration from Earth, Fire, Air and Water for the four new designs.


Jungle in Taupe and Calypso in Lavender

Panarea, a reversible fabric, references the earth. Hicks says, "It reminds me of fallen leaves - pick one up and hold it against the light and like this design, one side has the mirror imprint of the other."


Top: Calypso in Natural and Panarea in Taupe.

Calypso represents fire, which the designer says, "can be romantic, warm and cozy or dangerous."

Jungle has a breezy quality that captures the Air and evokes a watercolor painting.

Starfish represents the water in a wide range of blues, "reflecting the ever-changing, mysterious and colorful facets of the ocean."
