Sharon Pringle and Wendy Murray, the creative duo behind surface design partnership Clo, met whilst studying Textiles at the Glasgow School of Art and graduated together in June 2009. They decided to form their partnership after realizing a shared love of architecture, colour, and bold, graphic patterns.

"Much of our individual design work is derived from architecture that has inspired us in cities such as Copenhagen, Glasgow, London and Berlin, and so it seemed obvious for us to do a project together after graduation. We then realised a significant gap in the market for graphic, luxurious yet affordable scarves and so our project became our business."

All of their scarves are designed, printed and finished in Glasgow.

The word Clo is Scottish Gaelic and can mean both printing and cloth which sums up their work well.

In addition to their retail range, Sharon and Wendy work on a commission basis, and have designed and made bespoke scarves for a range of corporate and charity clients.

They are also interested in working collaboratively with other designers. A current project involves Wendy and Sharon working with a fashion designer to produce a range of tailored capes, for which Clo fabric will be used as the linings - watch this space for more news on the project!

As surface designers, they don't limit themselves to designing fabrics: future projects will involve their patterns on a range of ceramics, rugs and tiles.
