Bold and contemporary passementerie designs lead the way in luxury contemporary interiors.

Each silk cord was meticulously spun by hand, before being dyed in a rich and varied colour palette.Taking inspiration from traditional passementerie weaving methods and aesthetics, this artwork presents passementerie in a new context as a framed artwork to hang on the wall.
