Inspired by nature’s vast beauty, artisanal cloth and exquisite craftsmanship, Iona combines her passions for fine art and design to create a timeless aesthetic. Since the launch of her brand, Iona has enjoyed success internationally, showing her fashion and interiors collections in Paris, Tokyo, London, Beijing and New York. Collectors of her paintings span the globe. Whilst Iona's signature prints are directional and cement a unique design identity, a harmonious balance is struck between her tactile use of print and their pairing with rich and tonal fabrics, wallpapers and decorative interiors. The combination and contrast of each element results in distinctive, innovative collections which lend themselves to a plethora of interior spaces.
