Terra Rose - Unconscious Chinoiserie Throw

Based on a section of a traditional Chinoiserie scenic, which we have hand-painted into velvet, these one-of-a-kind pieces blur the lines between soft furnishings and fine art. To paint directly onto velvet, a hugely absorbent material, takes an incredible amount of control: the colours bleeding and flowing into each other seemingly with a mind of their own. Only a virtuoso would be mad enough to attempt it. Happily, our artists – exponents of the free and spontaneous “unconscious” painting style – are masters of the craft. Each throw is wadded and then backed with a joyously tactile, ecologically friendly faux cashmere. Chic and monochromatic, Terra Rose celebrates rust and terracotta hues and features details exquisitely rendered in metallic bronze thread.
