I S SUE 67 01 mma m Tomma Bloom This vibrant design studio merges contemporary aesthetics with a playful approach, crafting unique and inspiring visual experiences When Tom Lerental established Brooklynbased design studio Tomma Bloom, her primary aim was creating objects that are infused with a sense of playfulness. This, alongside the brand’s interdisciplinary method of using textile design as a blueprint for the design of other objects, has led to a series of unconventional and refreshing upholstery fabrics, wallpapers and rugs. The design studio’s most recent endeavour is a collection of rugs created in collaboration with TTW Editions. Each of the six pieces is dedicated to a remarkable female artist, whose visions are channelled and reimagined in the designs, speaking to the timelessness of their art and their enduring legacy.
