Modello Makeover
One of my businesses is Modello Designs. I started this as an offshoot business 4.5 years ago from my original company Royal Design Studio, which specializes in elegant designer stencils for interior decorating. Rather than a reusable,mylar stencil Modellos are one-time-use decorative masking patterns (masking stencils!). They have some advantages over stencils for certain types of designs; can go very large, very intricate, continuous pattern, positive or negative image, allow for development of new decorative techniques, can be custom-sized and cut to order, and much more.
We now offer 1,000′s of patterns and are constantly developing more, so a static, bound catalog just doesn’t work because it becomes out of date very quickly. This Spring, we will be introducing our brand new, easily update-able design binder, with a new look that really showcases what we are all about: Pattern and design!
Lauren came up with this great (I think) paisley concept after cruising many design blogs such as decor8 and print and pattern and being inspired by the rich paisley patterns that are popping up (again). We have filled the shapes with some of our favorite designs and I think the end result is colorful, unique and quite fetching….

Melanie I love this “binder” concept, and the cover that Lauren designed is like eye candy. I cannot wait to get my hands on one! You will however, be encouraging my addiction to periodicals.

Can’t wait for this book. Love the cover. I think that’s the new wave for decorative painting… that layered graphic look! I thinki modellos will ne perfect to try to accomplish that. How will we be able to get the book?
