    When designer Jean-Baptiste created the dotted pattern Persephone on tablecloths and napkins, the idea was to evoke the world of plants, which is so characteristic of Josef Frank’s work. The pattern depicts the floral biodiversity of the season, with petals, buds, leaves and seeds in an abstract way. The print is named Persephone after the Greek goddess associated with the return of spring.

    The textile is printed by hand by a small, family-owned company in Jaipur, India. The design block is cut out of a timber block and then dipped in dye and pressed against the fabric like a stamp. Woodblock printing is an art form; a method of production which requires enormous precision and craftsmanship.
