Neisha Crosland for De Ferranti
Pattern with discipline. Glaze with soul. Ceramic surfaces with intent.
Few contemporary designers understand pattern with the precision and poetry of Neisha Crosland.
In collaboration with De Ferranti, her designs are reimagined as architectural surfaces in ceramic, terracotta and glaze. These are not simply patterns placed onto tile. They are surfaces conceived with rhythm, proportion and permanence at their core.
Each collection reflects the De Ferranti belief that materials should carry depth, intelligence and presence - beauty made not for the moment, but for rooms that gather character over time.
The Origin of the Collaboration
The collaboration began with a shared instinct for material, craft and atmosphere.
When Neisha Crosland and Alvaro de Ferranti began discussing pattern, surface and architectural ceramics, they recognised a common language: decoration with discipline, pattern as structure, and surfaces that could hold both history and modernity.
From that conversation came four collections: Haveli, Floris, Botanica and Modernist, with a fifth now in development. Each one translates Neisha’s distinctive design world through the tactile authority of clay, glaze and hand-finished surface.
The Editions
The collections speak individually, but belong to the same family of thought.
Haveli – ornament, disciplined; pattern with architectural intent rather than decoration
Floris – softer, more fluid; quiet movement and gentle rhythm
Botanica – rooted in nature; delicate forms with structure and ceramic depth
Modernist – pared back and geometric; confident, controlled pattern
Together, they form a refined toolkit for pattern-led interiors - surfaces defined by intelligence, restraint and lasting presence.
Exclusively at De Ferranti
De Ferranti has always been drawn to surfaces with authorship: materials that are not merely specified, but chosen for their story, their making and their ability to transform a room.
The Neisha Crosland collaboration sits naturally within that world. It brings together British pattern, ceramic craft and architectural intent, creating collections that feel decorative, but never superficial.
These are surfaces for designers who want pattern with substance - expressive, considered and quietly unmistakable.
Designer Profile: Neisha Crosland
“I’ve always been fascinated by how a repeat pattern can alter your perception of space - how rhythm can calm, or excite, depending on proportion.” - Neisha Crosland
Crosland’s work is defined by balance: geometry held in harmony with emotion, decoration guided by structure. With De Ferranti, that sensibility moves from print to permanence, scaled for walls and floors where material depth, light, and texture give the repeat new life.
