Petra Palumbo founded her eponymous brand in 2018. Since then, the design house has blossomed into a world of decorative and colourful homewares with a distinctive and innovative approach to pattern at its heart.

Her tile and trim designs are a modern, irreverent take on traditional ceramics and open up a world of tiling possibilities; from the nostalgic Delft series with their light-hearted, playful illustrations, to the vibrant Tartan collection which translates the iconic Scottish textile into tile form. Running across multiple collections, her patterns and motifs allow customers to play with print in creative new ways, from pattern drenching to mixing contrasting styles and everything in between.

Petra’s eclectic designs weave together influences from her Lebanese ancestry and the rich heritage of Scotland, the place she calls home. Each piece has been lovingly created to bring warmth, personality and joy to everyday life.

Looking after people and the planet is part of Petra’s guiding ethos. She seeks to support artisans and their techniques by creating heirloom homewares with the smallest possible impact on the environment.

The surname Palumbo is of Italian origin, its original meaning translating into 'Ring Dove' in the dialects of Southern Italy. In practice, however, many people extend the meaning to include 'Dove of Peace'.

Our logo is a dove holding an olive branch. It's a universal symbol of peace but for us, it also signifies love, hope, equality, prosperity and freedom.
