Drop from Knoll Textiles
Jaipur (2008) in color Rose Hip is from the inaugural collection of Knoll Luxe, designed by Dorothy Cosonas. A highly unusual fabric, Jaipur makes use of hand guided embroidery.
Drip (2011) in color Mercury is a wall covering from the Ink Collection. Using liquid movement as a point of departure, Drip is composed of a series of organic, interconnected letters created by steering wet ink into letter forms.
Drop (2011) in color Apple, part of the Ink Collection by Abbott Miller with the international design firm Pentagram, began with a droplet of ink that was digitally manipulated to create a kind of stripe.
Katazome (2011) in color Hearth is inspired by the traditional Japanese woodblock effect.
