So, when Laura and Caroline Allnatt, founders of hip bespoke furniture maker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/roome-london-furniture-ltd\/\">Roome London<\/a>, tapped the British designer to create a delectably punchy print for their circular screen, his mission was clear. \u201cI immediately thought of a Zoom call backdrop,\u201d he says, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not any ordinary backdrop, of course. \u201cWhat if it\u2019s really escapist and this fantasy jungle dripping with exotic qualities?\u201d he asked. His answer: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/roome-london-furniture-ltd\/shop\/furniture\/?q=palm%20springs\">Palm Springs print<\/a>, in which lush jungle foliage pops against a shocking pink backdrop. After a year spent watching newscasters surrounded by sad potted plants and spare bookshelves, it\u2019s a breath of fresh air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/home-accents\/screens-room-dividers\/fine-upholstered-contemporary-divider-screen-made-england\/id-f_22444482\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--643x950.jpg\" alt=\"Pru room divider in the Palm Springs print by Matthew Williamson for Roome London\" class=\"wp-image-352766\" width=\"675\" height=\"997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--643x950.jpg 643w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--237x350.jpg 237w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--81x120.jpg 81w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--768x1135.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--1039x1536.jpg 1039w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs--631x933.jpg 631w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/MATTHEW-WILLIAMSON-FOR-ROOME-LONDON-Pru-Screen-showcasing-Palm-Springs-.jpg 1218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/home-accents\/screens-room-dividers\/fine-upholstered-contemporary-divider-screen-made-england\/id-f_22444482\/\">Pru room divider in the Palm Springs print<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The print, part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/roome-london-furniture-ltd\/shop\/furniture\/?q=matthew%20williamson\">stunning new collection for Roome<\/a>, came about as most artistic collaborations do nowadays \u2014 through Instagram. Knowing their range of pared-back designs, which include finely upholstered side cabinets and decorative boxes, were an ideal showcase for Williamson\u2019s silk-cotton prints, the Allnatt sisters slid into Williamson\u2019s DMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing was good for Williamson. Recognized for his exuberant fashion, fabrics, wallpapers and interiors, the designer had just wrapped up a lampshade collaboration with the British brand Pooky and was mostly spending his downtime painting at his \u201clockdown home\u201d in the tiny coastal village of Dei\u00e0, on the Spanish island of Majorca. The effortlessness of his conversations with the Allnatts also put him at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

Allnatts selected, Williamson turned to his favorite motifs and inspirations: 17th-century Indian ikats, leopard dots and florals in glowing colors like those he\u2019d seen on his travels through Spain and India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resulting side cabinets, handcrafted in oak in Norfolk, England, and accented with gleaming brass hardware, are as lively as any party dress that Williamson\u2019s close friend the actress Sienna Miller would wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ikat pattern he created for the line \u201cfeels like a knowing print, with connotations of different cultures,\u201d says Williamson, who subtly infused it with leopard spots, another goes-with-anything pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a
