These samples are inspired by a glasshouse cafe that sells aromatic products and food made from herbs, thus organic and architectural elements are explored throughout the collection. Colors and textures of fabrics are put into consideration to capture these elements and the overall atmosphere of the location. The end use for these fabrics is for residential spaces. Most of the samples are done with Matelasse weave structure.
