About
Textile designer and artist Erin Dollar is best known for the minimalist, modern pattern designs she creates for her home decor company, Cotton & Flax. Inspired by modern art, Scandinavian design, and sustainable living, Erin’s approach to surface pattern design is thoughtful and considered.
From her San Diego, California studio, Erin creates bold, expressive designs with a handmade edge. Clients include: Robert Kaufman Fabrics, CB2, Schoolhouse Electric, Deseda, Scout Books, and American Express.
Erin takes on a wide variety of textile design and surface pattern design projects. If you have a collaboration idea, or want to commission new work, please get in touch: erindollar@gmail.com.
“Making goods for display in the home requires more than an eye-catching design. Deeper consideration is needed, and Erin spends a large part of her design process thinking about the role of the home as a whole.”
“In a digital age, it’s so refreshing to find brands that still value the tangible and putting pencil to paper.”
