New collection
Custom designed to meet the requirements of your interior project, these panels can be used as window treatments, space dividers, wall hangings, art pieces or bed spreads.
Each piece is custom designed and hand sewn to make it a one of a kind artwork with options in colors, sizes and materials for hospitality, commercial and residential projects.
The fabrics are overlaid in various forms to make a three dimension artwork. The overlay could be in the form of raffles, pleats or a different kind of stitching to bring in color and texture. Fabrics range from soft cotton to gleaming organza to the versatile polyester.
For those new to the fabric world here are a few explanations:
· Ruffles- layers of fabric gathering, very organic in form. Ruffles add softness to cotton and add hard edges to metal silks, making playful fabric sculptures.
· Stitching - both hand and machine stitching often used to make organic lines like drawings on paper, or for outlining the fabric.
· Pleats - Pleats add an organized texture to the base fabric. This could be applied to most of fabrics, making fabric sculptures.
These three techniques are the basics. Besides these three there are a diverse range of other techniques that can be added on to the panels.
