fabric friday: robert kuo for s. harris

This lovely col­lec­tion by Robert Kuo for S. Har­ris is, I think, decep­tively sub­tle. The designer has trans­lated from his usual mate­ri­als of metal and wood, mar­ried his her­itage of ancient Chi­nese pat­tern and crafted some­thing com­pletely new. Serene but com­plex, these fab­rics delight the eye and the hand. In sev­eral not-quite-neutral col­ors, with a few rich reds thrown into the mix, here is a sampling:

What do you think? The che­nille and silk are just beg­ging to be touched, right?

    Loved the them (except fish scales) Couldn't tell which were che­nille or silk?

    Mar­lene — the yel­low one is a quilted silk, truly feels like clouds. The swirly gray is a che­nille feel, and the red is a cotton/linen/silk blend with a beau­ti­ful hand.

    Jeff — I sent you an email with details.
