Drawing inspiration from Japanese Minimalism, the Bauhaus School, and ancient Korean cloth tradition
This sophisticated, yet soothing wallcovering is a contemporary nod to the traditional chogak bo or patchwork style of Korean Bojagi. Blocks of woven paper in varying sizes are hand-placed in a restrained linear architecture that can be custom arranged to create specific styles and ambiances.
Informed by the crisp geometry of the Bauhaus, while capturing the quiet restraint of Japanese design, Stipple is distinguished by its soothing subtlety. Against a ground of refined ramie, a series of small, woven squares produce intriguing nuances in texture and dimension, its neutral palette lending it tonal beauty.
Paying homage to Bauhaus textile designer Anni Albers, this weave balances the structure of industry with a natural, organic sensibility. Rectangles and squares jacquard-handloomed of textural ramie and multicolored warp fibers form a complex geometry that conjures images of newsprint on a page.
Bojagi, a traditional Korean silk patchwork that becomes more beautiful and translucent with age, served as the inspiration for this tonal series. Alternating tight and loose weaves, rendered in ramie and warp threads, produce a beautifully irregular striped pattern, and its natural drape and rich texture highlight Gossamer’s handwoven quality and the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi.
