The Style Standard: Hollyhock

HOLY Hollyhock!

Hollyhock is a hand-blocked linen or a cotton chintz with a lineage that dates back to the 1850s. Even after a century later it was hailed as "the most beautiful chintz on the market." Lee Jofa's signature fabric, Hollyhock hand-block has been printed non stop since its introduction in 1922. The fabric comes in 38 individual blocks printing 19 colors and requires 100 undividual placed blocks to complete just one yard of fabric. As most fabrics get discontinued after a few years, Lee Jofa's Hollyhock has remained and has become a designers favorite. Its one of Danielle's favorite prints, and so much so we have reproduced some of her signature pieces, wrapped and ready to go!

The Late Designer Suzanne Rheinstein ran a cult-favorite shop for Hollyhock for decades. Rheinstein is also the visionary behind Lee Jofa's timeless collection of Hollyhock fabrics. She stated that the beloved fabric can go well with modern furniture or antiques which is why it attracts so many people.

The late Suzanne Rheinstein upholstered Lee Jofa Hollyhock sofa in her Georgian-styled sitting room in Los Angeles.
