Eden is a dramatic pattern featuring high-contrast plant silhouettes set against a solid background. Colour blocked areas create geometric shapes within the leaves and stems. Together with Foliage, Eden offers an inventive take on the decorative genre of flora and fauna. Both textiles feature highly picked constructions to achieve optimal colour saturation and fine detail. The design marks a close collaboration of Jongerius with the American textile manufacturer, Maharam.
