Hella!!!



I love Hella Jongerius - especially her fabrics designed for Maharam. These are more like pieces of art than upholstery fabric. The fabric shown above is Layers Park Double in Sienna/Ginger/Rose. I love the contrasting embroidered details, and the cut outs, a that allow the ginger wool felt to peek through. It really has a great hand-crafted feel to it. This fabric could make a space seem extra special, almost completely custom. The fabric also comes in Mineral/Taupe/Lemon (a green palette) and Black/Peat/Copper (a black palette).

These would make incredible drapes, or even a wall hanging. Maybe it would have some sound absorption value for an acoustically difficult space? Realistically, I would use this fabric for throw pillows - because it's $250 a yard!

also LOVE these designs. I am totally attracted to these interesting color combinations. I try to stick them in to my projects as much as possible, but I am frequently faced with skepticism from my peers...figures, they are all architects :)
