Bairiki by Jan Barwick
Jan Barwick's work, inspired by living in the South Pacific Islands, Africa, Cayman Islands
and Florida has a recognizable palette of bold color, with cerise, turquoise, tangerine
and citrus, capturing the vivid flora and marine life of the Tropics, Caribbean and Key West.
Jan chose to name the brand ‘Bairiki’, part of the atoll of Tarawa in Kiribati, South Pacific, where her family for six years in the 1960’s.
However, the world has changed immeasurably over the last few years. Kiribati, is the first nation that will be reclaimed by the sea because of climate change, making this collection all the
more resonant.
While concentrating on key items, including Silk Squares, Bags and throw pillows, her designs translate beautifully onto many products, and are perfect for interior design and custom product development.
Jan’s work can be found at The Georgia Aquarium flanking the entrance of The Tropical Diver Exhibit and also in The Cayman Islands National Gallery.
