In a daydream, hit the road and follow the lifelines of a territory ... More in love with travel and freedom than ever, this collection flees gloom for a vibrant stopover in sub-Saharan Africa. Lively, invigorating, its geometric patterns are precious moving landmarks on fabric: traversing topographic lines, aligning singular encounters. With their tonic accents and their arty spirit, they retrace the trail of nomadic objects, age-old weaves of the Shoowas or Yorubas, tribal sculptures and then converse with street art in Dakar. Sunny strolls, fabulous escapades undulating on our atlas… When color block compositions step aside for insolently textured embroideries, they share the same ground: the ancestral fibers of linen, wool, cotton and jute. While their warm tones of fire and earth are close to the natural elements, they radiate vibrations of emerald, intense blue, saffron and orange blossom.   With 9 large emblematic designs, this collection revisits fabrics from several African regions while giving a voice to embroidery and weaving: the eclecticism of the techniques and the stitches used contrasts with the simplicity of the geometric patterns, also obtained through printing. Throughout the creations, we also encounter weaves, weave effects reminiscent of raffia braiding, several effects of scale, and carefully thought-out finishes (tumbler, airsoft ...). And, with an ever-present homage to handicraft which permeates throughout all the 2021 collections.

  Rio Own the Look They’ve never made it a secret, they’re somewhat partial to cha-cha, rumba and bossa nova. Sandy beach culture, a bit of a check-it-out vibe, flowers in Japan, with a heavy tapestry finish. Make flowers and palm trees dance until sunset, get through the open window and be the first to splash in the waves. These very complex indoor-outdoor weaves bring floral, botanical and geometric-inspired patterns to life. Merrily mix and match them with our other creations and plain linens. Outdoor Fabric Fire Resistant   Riviera Dream Swim or Swim Taking in the view of cruise ships from the Grand Hotel, lined up with never-ending beaches. With the promise of a season filled with eucalyptus and the thrill of water-skiing, structured weaves bring all the reliefs of eternal holidays into play. Inspired by raffia basketwork, this collection plays on structure with two-tone stripes, and tone-on-tone basket diamond and herringbone patterns. Indoor-outdoor, IMO and resolutely technical: antibacterial properties, chlorine and saltwater resistant. Outdoor Fabric Fire Resistant

  Their mantra? Semi-plain. True false friends of smoothness and regularity, they curl, sway and intertwine the heritage of weaving, juxtapose references and cover technical tracks to take on a handmade look and feel. In a modern craft culture, their beauty is pure, not ostentatious. Softness. A blended bright spell that shifts the horizon of the essential. Joy. The creations play on rustic and bare ambivalence while transforming linen, jute or wool. The material, sculpted in the fiber, exalts ethnic and authentic roots, enhanced with ultra tactile or extra-cozy details. Who are its guides? The people of the Earth, Kenya or Burkina Faso, the leaders of the Bauhaus and even those who marked the Seventies.   The collection plays on irregularity and handcrafted references while discreetly multiplying the effects (some of which are only possible thanks to very old French machines!): Structured jute, fancy linen, looped or braided wool, jacquard and exceptional weaves.

  Part of the New Spring 2021 Wallpaper and Wallcovering Launch. Kachama interprets incredible oriental weaves printed on linen. Imperial club identity under very Thai, shiny reflections. Come closer, yes closer. Up close, the irregularity of the weaves and the combinations of materials cut and re-woven together reveal their handcrafted fiber and make the colors vibrate. Printed on a foil backed linen, these large textile panels are suitable for contract use.   STORYTELLING The collection interprets the incredible textile work of Kachama Kiratiphumtam, a Thaï-Japanese artist. The Thai hill tribes living outside Chiang Mai shared their weaving know-how with Kamacha. These creations bear this historical heritage.   Her works are impressive woven patchworks, made even more unique by inclusions of fabric and salvaged materials. Encapsulated in the creation are pieces of silk, cotton, traditional clothing, as well as bamboo, pearls or even grains… Since the creations are made of materials specifically gathered for this purpose, each one is unique and cannot be duplicated. From the traditional dyeing methods to the use of handlooms, each step of the process is manual and artisanal. Weeks are necessary for each creation. Sometimes even months or years, with creations more than 15 m long. In turn, digital printing allows all the finesse of the original textile creation to be felt and seen.
