DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES
SUBLIME MID-CENTURY MODERN PIECES
The Japanese design aesthetic of Wabi-Sabi is an appreciation of the beauty found in imperfection, the acceptance of transience. When the coastal tide rolls out leaving beautiful sand ripples, a stunning but temporary undulating pattern is revealed. These shoreline sand ripples are the inspiration for the new woollen fabric collection from Mkira. The undulating twill design in the new Ombre Wave fabric is reminiscent of the beautiful patterns found on the beach. As with all Mkira products the elements used to create the range are ethically sourced from the British Isles. The new Ombre Wave range uses the softest Donegal 100 per cent Pure Merino wool; known for its warmth and the colourful flecks distributed throughout the yarn. The fabric has an ombre effect; gradually blending colours from light to dark tones, available in two distinct yet delicate shades, soft heather and deep sea. www.mkria.co.uk Elstead Lighting is a decorative lighting manufacturer and distributor based in Hampshire, UK.
