Animal magnetism
Supon Phornirunlit has a way with animals. The Thai-born, Washington, D.C.–based art director and graphic designer frequently draws upon the animal world for designs under his Naked Décor label of home accessories.
Having created award-winning corporate branding, advertising and marketing campaigns for companies around the world, Supon turned his attention to interiors and home accessory design, and founded Naked Décor in 2004. Combining the kitschy appeal of Pop Art with strong design sensibilities, Supon’s signature collections – such as Live Like a Queen (the Queen, the flag and other British icons), Hello Sailor (all things nautical) and Happy Hot Dog (a charismatic dachshund) – have grown into comprehensive product lines, ranging from accent pillows, clocks and lamps to serving dishes, coasters and bookends.
It’s his animals we like best: from the Happy Hot Dog and Kitty Cat Darling to Oh Deer! and Totally Polar Bear. From the latest collection, we especially like the Cat and Kitten pillow and the Birds pillow, both celebrating the mothering instinct in a refreshingly charming way.
