From Design Studio to Book Cover: Fabrics from Kerry Joyce

In 2007, after years spent studying the age-old traditions of textile making at mills around the world, Kerry Joyce decided to start his own fabric company as part of his Los Angeles-based interior and architectural design atelier, Kerry Joyce Associates.

The launch was a leap of faith inspired by the award-winning designer’s own fascination with textiles and the powerful role they play in his custom interiors, but the fabrics resonated with design lovers right from the start. “They have a sense of coming from the past, yet they feel of today,” the designer writes in KERRY JOYCE: THE INTANGIBLE.

He selected one of the designs—a pattern called Totem, commissioned from the American artist and ceramicist Heather Rosenman—as the design of the cover of his book. The pattern resonated with book lovers, too. KERRY JOYCE: THE INTANGIBLE—a continuing Pointed Press Leaf bestseller—is now in its second printing.
