Dazzling colors and Op Art undertones triumph in New York-based interior designer Amy Lau’s eponymous new line for fabric distributor S. Harris: the Amy Lau for S. Harris collection. Drawing from her art and design savvy, (Lau was the co-founder of Design Miami/), she based the collection on abstract expressionism, blending it with the concepts of color theory. The fabrics are broken down into four contemporary color ways: Aqua (shown), a brilliant mixture of blues and greens; Contrast, a black-and-white compilation inspired by Op artist Bridget Riley; Chroma, featuring saturated reds, oranges and pinks à la Lau’s favorite lipstick shades; and lastly Earthwork, a fun, fashion-forward line that mimics the deep purples, oranges and greens seen in recent runway shows. “The [four color ways] are perfect for mixing and matching,” Lau says. “It allows you to be artistic in your own right.”
