Ikebana kyoto 14, zollanvari studio, zollanvari super fine gabbeh

An entirely new creation for the highly successful Ikebana Kyoto Collection, this design by Zollanvari Studio looks East to Japan and celebrates colour, nature, life… All things Japanese were all the rage in the late 19th century and greatly inspired and influenced the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. But the flow of inspiration worked both ways since these styles travelled back to Japan and in turn influenced meisen kimonos, which used abstract, floral and geometric designs in sophisticated colour combinations. The subtle addition of a pelt-like ground adds the magical Persian touch.
