Oliver Heath Launches New ‘Eco Chic’ Natural Paints
Oliver Heath has launched a new range of natural paints called Eco Chic in conjunction with earthBorn paints. Oliver first came to the public’s attention in 1998 as BBC Homefront’s young designer of the year.
Â
earthBorn is passionate about the health and well being of its customers and it was for this reason that Oliver was attracted to collaborate with the brand; earthBorn Claypaint is still the only UK paint brand licensed to carry the EU Ecolabel and is VOC free.
Oliver’s new range includes colours such as ‘Muddy Boots’, ‘Wool Blanket’ and ‘Tree House’, which reflect the design ethos behind the collection. “I have created a collection of seven colours that have been totally inspired by nature, yet blended for living; the tonal pairs of muted colours work beautifully together around different areas and rooms.
Oliver says, “I wanted to develop my own range of natural paints as I am enthusiastic about reducing the number of chemicals that surround us in the home.â€
