My Space- Nicola Cerini

HODDLE Street is a stone's throw from Nicola Cerini's Richmond studio, but it could be half a world away. Inside a former chocolate factory, the home of Cerini's textile design business is reminiscent of a European farmhouse. Yellow and orange-washed walls are adorned with artworks and fabrics, richly coloured cushions lie on rustic furniture and a rear courtyard drips with vines. When she's not at her home on the Bellarine Peninsula, doing her "drawing and creative work away from the telephone", Cerini spends a few days here every week, overseeing the business and hand-printing fabric samples and limited-edition prints.
