Hellen van Berkel (1964)

Hellen van Berkel (1964) is a pattern designer. She was employed in the fashion industry for a considerable period of time after she graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven. Hellen van Berkel designed a collection of pillows exclusively for Gelderland group. Van Berkel expertly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques thus bringing sublime artful disorder to any living room.
 
Just like a pair of shiny earrings or sexy high heals can bring magic to a woman's outfit, Van Berkel's pillows enhance the beauty and style of any interior. They give it character. A modern sofa turns glamorous and an everyday chair becomes an eye catcher fit for a party. How does she do it? It must be the lush soft fabrics, enchanting Indian embroidery in combination with her self designed patterns. Hearts, beatles, balls, embroidery, butterflies and sequins, hand or digitally printed: Van Berkel is a master in the mixing and matching of shapes, colours and patterns.
