Lauren Shaw

Before commencing her final year at University, Lauren undertook a year in industry, completing a year-long placement at Prominent Europe Ltd. Throughout this time, she has gained a valuable skill set that can be adapted to a variety of roles. 'Modern Memphis', her most recent work, draws inspiration from European architecture and uses familiar shapes and patterns with a reinvented colour palette and style. The collection consists of the trademark stark black-and-white from the Memphis movement, with clashing block colour and patterns to create interesting, unexpected combinations. Using tapestry weaving, Lauren was able to have freedom on the loom to truly represent the collages through woven designs. Upon graduation, Lauren intends to pursue her passion for colour and texture as a woven designer.
