DESIGNER SECTION #5

It’s always interesting to work with fabric that is a little outside your standard design aesthetic. It challenges you to find different ways of thinking about color, scale design, etc. I thought a lot about the push and pull of dark and light. Often the worst times in our lives lead to some of the brightest, I wanted the colors to help find that balance.
