As an architect, the design of objects and furniture must be done with a transversal approach. When working on this fabric, the idea was to evoke the world of plants, which is so characteristic of Josef Frank’s work. The form emerged from an abstract spectrum, where I systematically painted a dab of colour with watercolours by playing with the angle and the pressure of the brush on the paper.
The fabric is named Persephone after the Greek goddess associated with the return of spring. The pattern depicts the floral biodiversity of the season, with petals, buds, leaves and seeds in an abstract way.
