Representing an elegant new approach to a historic style, the piece functions as a lush, textural garden that honors ancient printing techniques through a contemporary, artistic lens.

On the Design:

This piece features a graceful sage green field with warm rose and dusty pink hues underscoring an all-over repeat of blossoming floral patterns. While this form represents a more minimalist approach, admirers of the craft and keen eyes will note inspiration from the many provenances known for repeating floral patterns in dense, deftly woven designs as this—a thoughtful and elegant new take on a traditional look.

The design draws creative breath from the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements, focusing on the fluid, intertwining lines of nature that feel both archaic and avant-garde. To wit, our designs draw on time-honored, even archaic designs, such as 17th-century Mogul rug patterns, that allow admirers of the craft to recreate old-world charm within any space.

Furthermore, the subtle high-low texture married to the floral patterns makes for an added sense of dimension, and the luxurious wool-and-silk blend creates an elegant play of light that allows the rose blossoms to shimmer with a naturalistic fluidity against the verdant ground. The block printing process is one of the oldest in textile design, and this piece represents a sophisticated, smart new language that honors that legacy through a contemporary, artistic lens. See less
