We’re beyond excited to share a collaboration close to our hearts: Kip&Co x Margaret Preston. Margaret Preston is celebrated as one of Australia’s most influential modernist artists—a true trailblazer.
Bold in creativity, progressive in thought, and fearless in championing a distinctly Australian identity, her work has inspired generations. This collaboration reimagines Preston’s archival prints into vibrant, functional pieces for your home and wardrobe, giving you the rare chance to live with her art every single day.
Who Was Margaret Preston?
Margaret Preston (1875–1963) was one of Australia’s most celebrated modernist artists, known for her striking prints, bold use of colour, and devotion to native Australian flora. Trained in Sydney and Europe, she became a pioneering figure in Australian art, championing a style that was uniquely local at a time when European influence dominated.
Preston is particularly famous for her linocut prints, a delicate and meticulous printmaking process that involves carving designs into linoleum blocks, inking them, and pressing them onto paper or fabric. This technique allowed her to create bold, graphic patterns that celebrated Australia’s natural beauty in a way that was both modern and distinctly her own.
Bold, innovative, and unapologetically Australian, Margaret Preston left a legacy that celebrates creativity, independence, and the beauty of the natural world—qualities that shine through in every piece of this collaboration with Kip&Co.
Why Margaret Preston Resonates with Us
Preston was more than an artist—she was a pioneer. Her prints celebrated native Australian flora, still lifes, and a modernist aesthetic that continues to feel fresh and bold today. At Kip&Co, we’ve always loved designs that tell a story, spark joy, and transform everyday moments into something special.
That’s why Preston’s work speaks to us: it’s timeless, daring, and unapologetically Australian. This collection isn’t just décor—it’s a way to bring meaning, colour, and artful design into your daily rituals. Whether you’re dressing your bed, hosting at the table, or relaxing outdoors, these pieces are more than functional—they’re small masterpieces worth owning.
