Innovations: Orissa
Inspired by their travels and the aesthetic exchange between the East and the West that developed in the 18th century, the Innovations Design Studio shares a nostalgia for natural materials and traditional craftsmanship through the 10 new wallcoverings and four new draperies.
First-hand experiences like watching lines of silk dry along a riverbank in India, or walking into a tailor’s shop in London, seemingly worlds apart, led to new patterns like Orissa. Named for the “Soul of India,†a region full of ancient temples and exquisite arts, Orissa reframes traditional craft for a new aesthetic. The 36-inch wallcovering lines up tone-on-tone strips of pleated paper, each drenched in glossy and metallic color, in a modern patchwork. Orissa is available in seven colors from coppery Cuttack to a sample of golds.

Fabricut: Ombre Dream
Ombré Dream is inspired by nature’s mystical gradation of color from one shade to another or from light to dark: shaded sunsets, the skin of ripening fruit, the color of water from the shoreline to the deep sea, the changing leaves in autumn to name a few. An ombré’s gradual movement of color creates intrigue and a modern element to interior textiles and trimming.
