“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

fabrics

Home Base Collections have created a range of hemp fabrics designed by artist Leanne Culy, inspired by her art work on rowing oars she has translated imagery of New Zealand to screen printed hemp.

The fabrics are made to stand the test of time – durable and stable, have maximum light fastness, all qualities to give them a long life. we chose to have the fabrics produced with the least environmental impact, the yarns grown using no herbicides or pesticides & are fully biodegradable (even our off cuts are used for paper production)

We’re all about fabric……

Fall in love with Hemp & Home Base Collections – Hoki, a beautiful soft green native design so beautiful you just want to be wrapped in it. Red & Pink Magnolia, dramatic enough for any special room, beautiful enough for any dramatic event…….
