TUMBLEWEED FOR SCHUMACHER

1st March 2021

Neisha says of the inspiration for this design: ‘An East Persian circa 1890 Doroksh Pictorial silk rug that I spotted on the cover of an auction catalogue was the spark for this design. The awkward, angular articulation of the branches of the tree depicted in the rug reminded me of a climbing plant, which led me to explore the geometric structures of espaliered and climbing plants. This gave me the framework for the repeat structure for the design, to which I pinned the little diamond shaped leaves with serrated edges. The change of colour along the stem and branches was an idea I took from looking at Suzani textiles – I love the way the thread colour changes in a Suzani flowerhead, leaf or tendril – it gives the design some movement and enormous charm.’ Available as a loop pile, Brussels weave in Buttercup, Delft Blue and Soot colourways, and as a flexo-printed wallpaper, in Bluebell, Delft Blue and Silver White colourways.’ View the wallpaper details here.
