{"product_id":"cole-and-son-ortensia","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Ortensia","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrtensia began life as a surface for other things. Barnaba Fornasetti developed it from the earlier Ortensie, and it appeared first on a scarf and on furniture in the Atelier before it was ever thought of as a wall, which explains its density. There is no ground to speak of. The hydrangea heads are packed edge to edge, and bees move between them in the small gaps that remain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drawing is all line. Each floret is described by its outline and by fine internal hatching rather than by tone, which is the Fornasetti method and the reason a pattern this dense never becomes heavy. In the monochrome colourways that linework is the entire design; where colour is used it sits inside the drawing rather than replacing it. Either way the wall reads as a worked plane rather than as a repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pattern this full has to be committed to. It is happiest in a small room given over to it, a cloakroom, a study, a bedroom with dark floors, and it holds its own against mirror, gilt and lacquer, which is the company it was drawn to keep. Large open expanses suit it less well than enclosed ones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Black \u0026 White","offer_id":57800255734142,"sku":"123\/9043","price":334.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \u0026 Cream","offer_id":57800255766910,"sku":"123\/9044","price":334.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \u0026 Blue","offer_id":57800255799678,"sku":"123\/9045","price":334.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Black \u0026 White","offer_id":57800255832446,"sku":"SAMPLE-123\/9043","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Blue \u0026 Cream","offer_id":57800255865214,"sku":"SAMPLE-123\/9044","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Pink \u0026 Blue","offer_id":57800255897982,"sku":"SAMPLE-123\/9045","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/Cole_Son_Fornasetti_Senza_Tempo_II_Ortensia_123_9043_RGB.jpg?v=1785945776","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-ortensia","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
