Bacon, whose coveted rugs were described as the "finest modernist carpets in existence" was a maverick who found critical success in the mid-1940s, and is now recognised as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Bacon’s rugs, which escaped his culling of works he created before he became a painter, have been an unexpected inspiration throughout Deadly Ponies’ winter collection.
“I liked the idea of drawing inspiration from these colourful, textured rugs, experimenting with vibrant hues
and unusual tactile materials, ” explains Liam Bowden, Deadly Ponies’ Creative Director.
“Sometimes it is better to simply allow the material to shine, and our feathery soft-suede achieves just that -
it brings a natural undulation to every product it touches - making Mr Cinch Suede in plum my pick of the
season.”
New season colourway, plum will be available in both suede and pebble grain leather, while Deadly Ponies’
sell-out silhouette Mr Maximese returns, his spectacular slouchy form graced by a deep, luxurious hue, Lilypad. They are standout selections from a season that will also include a ‘nano-drop’ of a small but glorious arrival, courtesy of Deadly Ponies’ annual Recycle program.
As a seasonal surprise, all those fans of lipstick red, will be squealing like a toddler in a candy store at the
arrival of candy apple featuring on a range of small leather goods, complemented by an embossed- Lizard,
in an exclusive July selection.
