On the Design:

Crisp and bright tones of ivory and cream white, silver-gray and taupe hues underscore a repeat of large-scale geometric patterns inspired by the mid-century Swedish approach to minimalism and Deco sensibilities alike. The silk’s natural sheen lends a luxurious play of the light from any perspective, and likewise brings an added sense of movement to an otherwise comfortable, livable repeat. Keen eyes will further admire the meticulous blend of yarns visible in this flatweave—a unique and intricate process which both acts as a subtle nod to traditional Scandinavian weaving techniques and lends a look of abrash and striae to the design.

Admirers of the craft will note this line is among, if not the, first major handmade production of the Scandinavian sensibility in silk—a contribution to an iconic movement which exemplifies the original spirit with which Jahanshah Nazmiyal founded this collection, as both a means of honoring the Scandinavian movement and innovating it as a modern maker and student of our craft. The noticeable differences from a labor of love in a handwoven flat weave rug speaks to us in Scandinavian Watson with a refreshing new energy—one that captures the honorific intention of the collection, the effort of its creators, and the collaborative spirit Jahanshah aspires to as a known creator after 40 years of industry knowledge accrued.
