Lily Way is a Weaver and Interior Stylist based in London.
Her work is continually inspired by nature… from the soothing sounds of a singing bird or the transformation of colour that a new season brings, to the steady rhythm of nature that reminds us to slow down…
Lily’s work embraces the notion of ‘slowness’, and is designed to create moments of calm, quiet and rest. Each tapestry is carefully crafted using 100% natural materials including linen, raffia and foraged plants.
