Nomadic ColorRich. Earthen. Sumptuous. Our intrepid new collection brings home
the colors, moods and textures of nomadic cultures. From the Atlas
Mountains of Morocco to the Tibetan plateau and the prairies of the
Great Plains, the spirit of the nomad is embodied in a pure palette
of rich pigments. Rooted in Onyx, Carob, Denim and Cement, it’s a
color story that draws from artisanal wares and traditional dress found
amid these sparse locales. Contrasting black and ivory tones echo the
carpets and shawls crafted by Berber tribes, deep, lush brown is a nod
to the coveted baskets woven by the Zulu, sunwashed blues evoke
fabrics soaked in dyes extracted from the centuries-old indigo plant
and soft greys layer in the soothing, muted hues of ceremonial clay
pottery. From the geometric Kuba cloth motifs to the nubby knotting
and touches of sequins and shine, the patterns and textures in this
collection together create a truly transporting experience.

OnyxAncient yet contemporary, classic yet on-trend, our inky black is inspired by the shawls and wool rugs hand-knotted by the Berber tribes of North Africa. Paired with soft ivory or carob, this essential hue takes on an utterly chic and elevated feel.
CarobRich and warming, our concentrated brown spans from deep espresso to luminous cognac. Found in tradition-al goods handcrafted by the Zulu and Fulani tribes of sub-Saharan Africa, this au courant color stems from the artisan heritage of African basket weaving.

CementBalanced yet weighty, subtle yet obvious, our easy grey is an omni-present color in nomadic life. Recalling the opaque clay beads of South Africa and the pottery of the Southwest, this organic hue also appears throughout urban concrete landscapes thereby adding a thoroughly modern vibe to any space.
DenimAn ode to ancient dyeing techniques and life on the prairie, our faded blues are directly influenced by denim fabrics made using the natural color extracted from indigo plants. Javanese batiks and Japanese Shibori textiles all rely on this universal dye that adds timeless color to any room.
