Y-307 - The Rose

41" x 35.5" (104cm x 90cm)

Price: £33.65

'The Rose' is the second winning stencil design in the Royal College of Art/Crown Paint "Crown Jewels" 2010 competition. The designer is Morten Underbjerg Olesen who is set to graduate from the RCA this summer. For the competition, Morten chose to create a modern interpretation of a classic rose design.

His design incorporates simple hand drawn lines and organic shapes of the rose petals and leaves. At times it can look abstract and geometric, at others, soft and traditional. Morten likes working with contrasting concepts, for example hard and soft, in his designs and exploring how they can work together and 'The Rose' is another example of this idea. The avant-garde new stencils lend a directional look to the walls of any home.

This stencil design works in single or multiple colours and can be used as a single motif or repeated for more abundant pattern.

Y-304 - Consequences of a House Party

18.9" x 52.8" (48cm x 134cm)

Price: £27.05

The winner of this year's collaboration between Crown Paint and the Royal College of Art with the Crown Jewels competition is Nabil El-Nayal with 'The Consequences of a House Party'. Nabil created silhouette stencils of a selection of objects being knocked over at a party including the spilled martini shown here. Nabil commented, 'I wanted to encapsulate that precise moment when excitement leads to an object falling and breaking, and to celebrate that moment by projecting it larger than life on the walls'.

This stencil looks equally good whether stencilled in a single colour or stencilled in two colours as shown in the photo. You can angle the stencil to any position you like.

Y-91 - Image Furniture Chandelier

60" x 45" (153cm x 115cm)

Price: £100.95

Crown Paint and the Royal College of Art embarked on an exciting and unique collaboration. Second year textile and fashion students were asked to design the "Crown Jewels" - modern, stylish and inspired wall stencils for the home.

Crown selected "Image Furniture" by Kyu Seon Lee as the winning design. It is a design of a chandelier created out of household objects. Keys, corkscrews and glasses can be hung over the silhouette on the wall, acting as a fun frame for everyday objects.

"I designed a stencil which takes furnishing objects as flat images. The reason I chose to do this is because some houses do not have enough space or height to accommodate something as opulent as a chandelier, but with this stencil it is easy to integrate this object into your home", says Kyu. "In addition, I wanted to give a little practical function and humour to my design, by encouraging real objects to be incorporated into the stencil."

Y-96 - Baroque Cat and Baroque Book Stack

81.2" x 31.6" (206.2cm x 80.3cm)

Price: £166.35

 also available separately as:

Y-94 - Baroque Cat

29.5" x 27.2" (75cm x 69.1cm)

Price: £56.25

Y-95 - Baroque Book Stack

51.7" x 31.6" (131.3cm x 80.3cm)

Price: £129.00

After the success of winning design "Image Furniture" by Kyu Seon Lee, Crown present the next instalment, "Baroque Cats" by Alex Mattson. Mattson has been hailed as one to watch by "Dazed & Confused" and is currently completing his MA in Menswear at the RCA.

The cat stencil is a single layer design. The book stack is a three layer silhouette stencil. Full instructions are included with your order. These stencils are very versatile; familiar items, yet irreverent because of their larger-than-life size. Together, as shown, they are a vertiginous 2.06 metres (80 inches) tall! They can be used on their own (and are sold separately) or together (there is a special price if you purchase both). The book stack can be used horizontally or vertically and if you want to create different height book stacks, you can mask off some of the books. The cat does not have to sit on the top of the books. It can be used next to the books or in a completely different area of the room.

Y-97 - Shoes

15.7" x 13.8" (40cm x 35cm)

Price: £23.50

Cinderella goes shopping! According to designer and Crown paint finalist Maureen Hung, Cinderella did not like her glass slippers so had to buy new shoes. An addiction to shoes began. So large became Cinderella's shoe collection, that she no longer had space in her shoe wardrobe at the castle and had to start leaving them about: up the stairs, atop furniture, on shelves. Maureen is currently completing her MA in Fashion - Womenswear at the RCA.

This stencil represents Maureen's vision of just three pairs of Cinderella's shoes. All three pairs are contained on one sheet for you to place as you wish. The size refers to the overall sheet size. The individual sizes are: high heels (bottom left) 170mm x 165mm; ankle tie shoes (top) 133mm x 268mm; polka dot courts (right) 90mm x 174mm.

Y-303 - All 3 sets of Antlers

 

Price: £56.25

The final instalment in the Crown Jewels story this year is 'Antlers' by Bronwen Marshall. She chose Antlers 'because they are relevant to the mood of fashion at the moment. Designers and artists are feeling inspired by the dark romanticism of taxidermy and skulls, from Damien Hirst to Alexander McQueen. My stencil designs are an inexpensive way for people to modernise their homes without having any real antlers on their walls.'

There are three different antler designs to choose from and they are available individually or as a set. They work equally well used once as a single motif or repeated.
