CAREFULLY CURATED
Artorial is a new online destination for affordable, curated wall art. Set up by interior designer Jo Sampson and fashion designer Jenny Crosbie, it offers over
250 artworks created in house. Working across various artistic mediums – from collage to photography; mark making to typography – each design, though different, is tailor-made to work in harmony with the rest of the collection, enabling you to create your own curated gallery wall with ease. This summer, the brand launched its first collaboration with interior designer Laura Stephens – the result is a mix of handpainted stripes, vintage florals and digital collage. Prices start from £30.
