www.westendermagazine.com | 41 Next we move on to Park Circus where the bluebellgray showroom provides a vibrant splash of colour in an otherwise austere and grand building. The brainchild of Fort William designer Fi Gray, bluebellgray’s hand painted prints are in demand around the world. ‘We are all about spreading happiness and colour,’ says Marketing Co-ordinator Lara Black. ‘Fi has a very clear style with oversized blooms and painterly abstracts being her signature. We are sold all over the world, from upmarket department stores like Bloomingdales in the US to customers as far afield as Australia and Hawaii.’ Every piece from cushion cover to wall panel is designed at the Park Circus HQ. ‘Fi paints and our designers scan using printing techniques which make sure every brush stroke and colour is captured true to life. John Lewis is one of the companies biggest stockists. ‘We are best known for our bedding with our fabrics and cushions coming a close second,’ but Lara adds, ‘most business is done online and by phone, with daily visitors to the showroom particularly for our curtain making service.’ A former Glasgow School of Art student Fi made a handful of cushions after graduating and showed them at a trade fair. Business snowballed from there and now bluebellgray employs thirteen staff. Lara says, ‘Fi is passionate about creating jobs here. ‘She fell in love with Glasgow after studying here and the vibe of the city sets it apart, there really is nowhere better to be when the sun shines!’
