OUR STORY
Mother and daughter textile designers Lynn Madgwick and Sasha Davies are the creative minds behind F.A. Madgwick & Sons. They look to create products that invoke the beauty of nature and their designs are inspired by the natural world and their memories of time spent living in India and Thailand.
Sasha and Lynn work on their designs separately but come together throughout the design process to swap perspectives and give valuable encouragement. Their ideas are initially hand-drawn, then refined and developed using print-making techniques and collage. Finally their designs are printed on to high-quality fabric and sewn into cushions by specialist manufacturers in the UK.
Lynn has had a lifelong passion for interior design which she has passed on to Sasha along with her love of the natural world. After completing a Degree in Textile Design at Winchester School of Art, Sasha spent many happy years working in-house and as a freelancer in the field of fabrics, furnishings and bespoke interiors. The idea of launching their own range of ‘decorative accessories for the modern home’ had been in the back of both their minds for many years and in 2020 the time was finally right. Taking the name from Lynn’s father’s business – run from the end of the garden at her childhood home – they aim to build on the tradition of working together in close collaboration and although the nature of their business couldn’t be more different than her father’s it remains very much a family affair.
Outside of F.A.Madgwick & Sons Lynn is a keen walker who can often be found in the Yorkshire hills. Sasha lives in Surrey with her husband, two sons and their crazy canine Sunny.
