Colours in Space

‘Colours in Space’ is an exploration of composition, colour and contrast.

Inspired by modern art, geometric abstraction and the arrangements of space, shape and detail within our domestic surroundings; it considers interior ‘snapshots’ as abstract collages and reinterprets them as woven compositions. Dobby woven tapestries incorporate graphic forms and motifs, while jacquards mix minimal lines and shapes with patterned structures.

Intended as decorative pieces and alternative furnishing fabrics for contemporary interiors, the collection explores the concept of ‘modern decoration’, reconsidering the stereotypical aesthetic of decorative and handcrafted textiles. ‘Colours in Space’ aims to reinstate and promote a sense of value and preciousness into the textiles we can decorate our homes with.
