John has some great ideas swirling around. Traditional marbled papers added color to antique book interiors. Swarm's zipper pouches and cushions are based on this method of marbling, where unique designs are created by dipping layers of ink onto canvas.
The designs John has contributed to his table linen collection with Summerill & Bishop are drawn from his extensive archive of antique imagery. Many of the patterns in this collaboration are crafted as decoupage pieces by a team of artisans in his New York studio. Add more to the table with trays, plates, bowls, and cake pedestals.

His collection of prints ranges from watercolor exercises to splatter patterns, from rows of petit fours to Delft china florals, all expertly transformed into decoupage trays, plates, lamps, and more by skilled artisans in his New York studios.
