136 nshoremag.com November 2012 CAMBRIDGE | CAPE COD 617 621-1455 www.LDa-Architects.com Greg Premru Photography 136 SPRING 2016 Oliver Blumgart Designs, 161 Bay Rd. #1, Hamilton, oliverblumgart.com to include imaginative and whimsical designs like Gyroscope, Pet- al, Kaleidoscope, Vertigo, and Bermuda ("It's called Bermuda because you just get lost in it," Blumgart says of the triangular design). And the same design can look very different depending on the pattern size, color, and spacing. "A few silly scribbles" have borne a variety of fabrics—chintz, cotton, linen, and silk, some of which are hand screen printed in Rhode Island and Florida, while others are digitally printed—as well as pillows, heirloom-quality furniture, and even totes that are made in Massachusetts with leather from Maine and zippers from Italy. Oliver Blumgart Designs also offers peel-and-stick wallpaper, lampshades, tiles, serving trays, napkin rings, and more. And, as with everything the company creates, all of it is customizable. The patterns can be small and compact, "or we can do it all the way up to the size of the Hood Blimp," Blumgart says. For a New York client, he even created a wallpaper to match the unique color of marble in the bathroom. Oliver Blumgart Designs has caught the eye of designers like Boston–based Annsley Interiors, which Blumgart says purchased his North Star wallpaper for use in the historic Roberts House Inn on Nantucket. Although he works on the commercial side often, his products are also available to individual consumers for the home décor market, and the showroom is open by appointment. He encourages customers to bring the colors they like or want to match and talk with him and his team about their ideas. (They can make custom fabrics relatively quickly.) Oliver Blumgart Designs also offers a wide variety of off-the- rack items—from delicate, high-end silk sheers to heirloom-quali- ty furniture—that are just as attractive and versatile as those that are custom made. All have the remarkable ability to either blend into the décor or become the focal point. The designs are under- stated, elegant, and effortless. But Blumgart is ever humble. "It's just nice to see it in use," he says. tastemaker nshoremag.com/nshorehome/ Oliver Blumgart Designs includes not only fabrics but also napkin rings, tiles, and serving trays, among other specialty items.
