Ne-net


Donna worked with Kazuaki Takashima of Japanese clothing brand Ne-net to produce a limited edition collection of dresses, t-shirts and accessories featuring Donna’s favourite motifs and patterns. The collection was based on the concept of sharing between people – couples, parents and children – and all garments were designed to be unisex so they can be worn by everyone.

Fogo Island


Donna Wilson was one of a small team of designers selected and led by internationally acclaimed designer Ilse Crawford to design and furnish a purpose built boutique hotel and gallery complex located on the remote New Foundland Island of Fogo. Building on the legacy of local craft traditions, all the furniture at the Inn is handcrafted using the skills of the local boat builders and guild of quilt makers, working together with an international roster of visiting designers.

For each bedroom, Donna designed an armchair called Bertha with matching ottoman in bespoke knitted print, as well as a range of hand-painted wallpapers.

The Brett House in the town Joe Batt’s Arm served as inspiration for the fabric print on our Bertha Chair. I took inspiration from the hand-cut shingles found on the outside of the building.

Ljubljana Puppet Theatre


Ljubljana Puppet Theatre hosts puppet shows and drama performances for both young and adult audiences. It was founded in 1948, and since 1984 it permanently resides at in Krekov Square.

Working with award-winning director Ivana Djilas, Donna designed the stage interior and all puppets for the classic children’s story ‘Goose The Bear’ by Katja Gehrmann. Everything was knitted in our London studio whilst collaborating with the Theatre’s skilled team of makers and performers in their spectacular workshop.

This was one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve worked on. It was fantastic to see Big Ted and the other characters come to life through puppetry and so rewarding to see first-hand how much the audience loved it, there’s nothing better than children’s laughter! – Donna Wilson
