Lynne Tanner has been designing fabrics for over 25 years. Hers is a timeless style which her childhood spent near the Australian coast conspired to flavour with vibrant pattern, fresh colours and a unique sense of scale. Lynne has never been afraid to create a statement and her mid-century upbringing still pervades her creations, giving them a natural strength, happiness and optimism.
Lynne has always designed and printed her own fabrics, but it’s only when you talk with her that you discover a background covering a surprising variety of design disciplines. You will find that she started her design career with iconic glassware manufacturer Crown Corning as a surface/pattern designer, where her designs were destined for everything from cocktail glasses to cookware and packaging.
