In our fast-paced world full of glowing screens and notifications, we all crave a space to unplug, unwind, and connect to our physical selves and the world around us. This concept is what drives the collection, “Namaste at Home,” which aims to create a textured, calming space where people can gather and live together. The collection pulls inspiration from all over the world to create a universally appealing experience. From the roofs tiles of Provençal France, to the Moorish tiles of Northern Africa, the vision is living spaces and bedrooms filled with these fabrics, all working together to soothe the mind, and invite the home owner to touch, settle in, and experience the calmness of being home. What sets these patterns apart from other tile-inspired designs is the human hand present within each fabric. Each line and shape was drawn by hand, reminding those living with the fabrics of their own humanity. There’s something relieving about giving up striving towards precision and perfection, and surrendering to the organic beauty of gentle shapes and lines. Using the natural warm neutrals of the fibers, along with deep blues and reds, the colours work together to achieve a richness and a timelessness. The collection hopes to bring tranquility and peace to those who use the fabrics, and to help them love their homes, and never want to leave them.
