HARTMANN&FORBES Introduces Grassweave Motifs Collection

MAY 2023 (TUALATIN, OREGON) – Hartmann&Forbes, award-winning maker of sustainable natural window and wall coverings announces new Grassweave Motifs Collection for Spring 2023. A visual representation of the concept of motifs, this collection deploys repeating decorative patterns to artfully express emotions and ideas. Ranging from the geometric and abstract to the botanical and traditional, these intricate designs are handwoven of natural fibers on a jacquard loom for rich color and texture and a calming, rhythmic effect. The collection includes two series of woven-to-size grassweaves, Canework and Pinisi, each offered in four colorways. 

Canework – Modeled after classic woven-cane chairs, this refined series is marked by a recurring geometric motif. The intricate design is jacquard-handloomed of natural banana fiber, crisscrossing the tonal ground in an elegant lattice pattern; the colors create contrast and visual dimension.

Pinisi – Traditional sailing vessels, known as pinisi, inspired this series, a modern take on traditional design. Jacquard-handloomed of ramie, Pinisi features a motif of the rigged boats in silhouette.
