25.01.2022 The History of ACD. We produced these wall plaques and others from 1990-2015. I hand-painted the original artwork which was digitised and then printed onto stone plaster tiles which we had produced in our factory, in large silicone moulds. The tiles were both heavy and fragile and our huge printer was a temperamental beast! But because of the printing method we used, these printed tiles were difficult for other companies to copy, a problem we had constantly with their carved bas-relief predecessors. We are still in business, but we have reinvented ourselves and have moved into home textiles and dinnerware. Most of our team are still with us and our business continues to grow and evolve. www.annachandler.com #happyhomewares #australiandesigner #colourandpattern #stillhere

18.01.2022 'Creativity takes courage', Henri Matisse, 1869-1954. Yes, Mr Matisse. In a world of neutral homes it does take courage and not a little stubbornness to be true to myself and create things of vibrant colour which probably horrify lots of people ("Doesn't she know, colour is SO unfashionable?"). But that's the only way I can be. I can't produce beige things which I hate just to make money. I am on a mission to fill the world with colour and joy. Who's with me? www.annachandler.com #colourisjoy #happyhomewares #tangerine #colourinspo

After 35 years, ACD is still here and still evolving! www.annachandler.com #australiandesigner #stillgoingstrong

16.01.2022 We set off early in the dark, walking the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago in Spain, around 350km. As we walked out of Porto we came across a farmer's market just setting up. Perfect for provisions for that day's picnic lunch. Nothing inspires me more than travel, and Portugal is one of my favourite sources of inspiration. All those azulejos!

14.01.2022 The history of ACD. As well as producing our own range of homewares, we used to have 5 retail outlets under the 'Gypsiana' name. I used to travel to Turkey on a regular basis to buy the most beautiful naive carpets from my favourite carpet sellers in Cemberlitas. They were hand loomed one at a time by women working at home. We always had layers of them on the floors of our Osborne Park, Cottesloe and Leederville stores, but although people loved them, they were a bit too out there for most people. I kept many and I'm glad I did. These beautiful colourful rugs are almost impossible to buy now and they still inspire my textile designs. www.annachandler.com #happyhomewares #colourandpattern

13.01.2022 The History of ACD. Back in 2003 we produced moulded wall plaques from our factory near Fremantle, WA. I was also designing patterns for placemats made offshore by a large well-known Australian placemat company. These were very popular, but like most artists, I received a tiny royalty on each set, amounting to not very much at all. I decided to travel overseas to find manufacturers I could deal with direct. Soon our imported products were subsidising our locally made products. Keeping our local team employed has always been a priority and many of our original staff are still with us as we enter our 35th year in business. www.annachandler.com #australiandesigner #stillhere #colourandpattern

13.01.2022 Thanks to all the kind people who let us know our Facebook Giveaway was scammed again by a fake ACD account, Anna Chandler-Design (instead of Anna Chandler Design). We have reported them to Facebook and hopefully they will crawl back under their rock. By the way, if you win we don't let you know on FB. Sorry to all the disappointed people who thought they had won. We will announce the winner next friday. Good luck everyone!

12.01.2022 The History of ACD. Back in 2005 we produced a huge range of carved, moulded and painted stone plaster wall plaques. I would make a slab of soft plaster, draw a design and carve it by hand. Then the original would be moulded by our ceramic technician and master mould-maker, who we called 'father Tim'. (not my brother Tim who also worked in the company). Then multiples could be moulded with liquid stone cement which, once set was fired and painted. It was an extremely hard and... laborious process and there were many companies which made a living just making moulds of my plaques and passing them off as their own. We eventually decided to get into printed plaques which were harder to copy. We are still in business after 35 years and have changed direction many times, as anyone in business knows is the only way to survive. I now design textiles and ceramics which are made for us offshore, though we still employ our Aussie team to market, pack, ship and process orders. www.annachandler.com #australiandesign #stillhere See more

02.01.2022 How do I design a tea towel? I paint and draw a few dozen different vases from my collection of flea-market finds over the years, using paint, crayon and ink. The images are then digitised and I manipulate them into the arrangement I like. The colours are changed until I get the balance I want. The design is then sent to our textile printer who creates a silk screen for each different colour, up to ten screens. The cotton tea towels are then printed, sewn, labelled and packed and are delivered to our warehouse where we then send them to you. It's quite a process! These new 'Bright Vases' tea towels are now in stock at www.annachandler.com #bright #colourisjoy #happyhomewares #cotton #teatowels #giftideas

01.01.2022 The history of ACD. We bought our Osborne Park factory back in 2005, after renting different smaller factories over the years. Finally I could paint the walls hot pink. This was the stairwell mural which was over 3 metres high. We sold Osborne Park and moved to O'Connor in 2015. Still here and still evolving. www.annachandler.com #happyhomewares #australiandesigner #colourandpattern
