"Electric orange stripes act as neutrals at Dusen Dusen, designer Ellen Van Dusen's exhilarating world of lifestyle and home wares. The Washington, D.C.-bred, Brooklyn-based creative launched her namesake brand as a womenswear label before pivoting to decor ten years ago-now, you can spot her collections at MoMA Design Store and Design Within Reach, among others. Taking inspiration from fine art, as well as neurological reactions to color and contrast, Dusen Dusen's patterned assortment is studied and spry."
"Coinciding with AD's recent visit to Van Dusen's family cabin in upstate New York, we invited the designer to share the archival inspirations behind her palette, pattern, and DIY prowess. From history lessons into whimsical Hearst properties to a mosaic sculpture park that incited " a little meltdown," Van Dusen's AD Archive references are as positively eccentric as her product designs."
Electric orange stripes act as neutrals at Dusen Dusen. Ellen Van Dusen is Washington, D.C.-bred and Brooklyn-based. She launched a namesake brand as a womenswear label, then pivoted to decor ten years ago. Her collections appear at MoMA Design Store and Design Within Reach. Patterns take inspiration from fine art and neurological reactions to color and contrast, producing a studied and spry assortment. Archival inspirations include family cabin visits in upstate New York, whimsical Hearst properties, and a mosaic sculpture park that incited " a little meltdown," dated July 1985. The brand favors playful, art-informed palette and DIY sensibility.
