Fruit for Maharam, a jacquard woven upholstery textile, is inspired by imperfections in nature. Its graphic approach emphasizes colour and form. A solid oval is transformed by perforated and textured overlays, creating effects of depth and transparency that contrast with density of a solid-coloured ground. Fruit was designed in seven colour variations, all with a neutral base colour combined with light accent hues.
