As the last echoes of summer carry into fall, designer and artist Phoebe Schuh found a way to preserve the season's warmth through a deeply personal design story. Inspired by VIETRI's iconic Fico (Fig) dinnerware collection, Phoebe created an original watercolor that captured the rich purples, pinks, and sun-washed tones of the fruit, drawing on memories of summers spent in Tuscany with her mother. The resulting artwork evokes the lingering feeling of long afternoons, vibrant markets, and the effortless beauty of the Italian countryside. 

Using Spoonflower’s customization capabilities, Phoebe transformed her hand-painted watercolor into a bespoke wallpaper and coordinating fabric, bringing her vision to life and into her home. She then paired VIETRI’s timeless Italian-inspired aesthetic with Spoonflower’s customization capabilities, PS & Daughters created a space that extends the spirit of summer well beyond the season itself. The result is a home filled with personal history, artistic expression, and a reminder that the places and moments we love can continue to inspire us long after summer fades.
