Pineapples for me are more that just a delicious (sometimes tongue numbing) fruit. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but when I lived in Sri Lanka we used to eat them dusted with chilli outside the school gate on swelteringly hot days, and since that time I have ve to say that these spiky little buggers embody not just sticky fingers and pre-training bra days but a sense of summer and wanderlust rolled into one (and naturally the nostalgic smell of diesel fumes that’s part and parcel of any sub-continental city). In a nutshell, pineapples put a smile on my face, so you’ll appreciate my delight at them cropping up as a summer must have – in the home, on your shorts and anywhere else you can think of. Can’t wait to show you my own pineapple inspired projects!
My favourite pineapple inspired designs are here, here, here, and here.
