Artist Intro Series- ISPACI

The whole idea behind north house AGENDA is that we collaborate with artists on the products that make up our collections.  These artists are the most important aspect of our shop and we are excited to formally introduce them one at a time by featuring them in our Artist Into Series.

Our next feature artist is the fabulous Cherise Rollins of ISPACI.  ISPACI makes the most beautiful, one of a kind pillows, using a unique mix of designer textiles.  I have a personal appreciation of this concept as my last job was in a  fabric showroom where I hoarded discontinued samples, but never knew what to do with them. Cherise was the perfect person to collaborate with for our latest collection.  She was able to use her magic on some of my favorites textiles that I had been hanging on to, and turn them into pillow perfection!

1. Who...

Hi, I'm Cherise, the designer and founder at Ispaci!

2. What...

I absolutely loved our collaboration together to design a pillow collection around beautiful textile samples you had saved. It was so much fun to mix the various fabrics together to create an elegant, vibrant expression, to celebrate the gorgeous Christopher Farr Cloth. 

One of my favorite pillows was created with a hand painted feather detail that I added onto one of the plain textile samples to give it more personality. I love it's soft texture, and this piece became the centerpiece of a new one-of-a-kind pillow design. It's a 2 sided design and pillow art for your home!

3. Where...

My art studio located in the Hawthorne Arts Complex (Los Angeles, CA) with 90 other artists in a shared creative space. 

My wall of inspiration is facing directly across from my work table - this has a collection of letters from family, friends, artists, pages from magazines, postcards, pieces of textile treatments I'm experimenting with - it keeps me going when I need some creative energy or need to feel the love!
