SEPTEMBER 2024 (TUALATIN, OR) – HARTMANN&FORBES, renowned for its natural, handwoven window and wallcoverings, is excited to announce the launch of its highly anticipated second collection in collaboration with Brooklyn-based interior designer Lisa Kanning. Following the success of their first collaboration, this new series features two innovative Woven-To-Size Grassweaves and two natural wallcoverings.

Inspired by the vibrant hues and natural beauty of the Greek Islands, Kanning’s latest designs blend intricate tones and materials, creating a dynamic fusion of nature and art. The collection exemplifies a sophisticated approach to decor, transcending conventional aesthetics with a unique interplay of textures and colors.

WOVEN-TO-SIZE GRASSWEAVE WINDOWCOVERINGS

KYMA — Inspired by the sculptural waves of Greece's Cycladic Islands, Kyma captures the Mediterranean's natural beauty in refined ramie. Handwoven on a jacquard loom, its rhythmic motif mimics the sea’s movement in a play of tone and texture that perfectly complements the Neptunia wallcovering.

NEPHELE — Drawing inspiration from celestial cloud formations, Nephele echoes the classical beauty of its mythological namesake. Jacquard-handloomed of renewable ramie, delicate threads create depth and texture as they twist and turn in a dreamy motif like billows drifting across the sky.

NATURAL WALLCOVERINGS

NEPTUNIA — Neptunia captures the soft, swaying look of seagrass, reminiscent of the natural beauty of the Greek Islands. Embroidered on an earthy sisal ground, the intertwining patterns and gleaming tonal hues evoke the shifting movement and textural intricacy of these underwater plants.

DELOS — At once classic and contemporary, this elegant wallcovering design reimagines the ornate details of ancient Greek architecture. Intricately embroidered on a sisal ground, Delos conjures fluted Corinthian columns that anchor the design in a harmoniously balanced motif.
