Cosima

Oh to have curtains like these, Issé Edition create beautifully natural textiles. On the most lovely earthy toned linen the embroidery is dyed using an artisanal method. Issé press the dye into the fibres so colour is compelling, earthy and subtly uneven adding to the relief for this superb furnishings fabric.

Marceau

Upon a subtly shiny base, multi-coloured twisted yarns delicately reveal a geometric pattern that forms a rhythmic stripe. It’s very tempting, colour palette is excellent.  Plus it is certified EcoVero, this viscose is eco-responsible, traceable, and environmentally friendly. It comes from sustainably managed forests (FSC) and is produced with up to 50% less water than it usually takes to make viscose.

Oscar

There is a deliberate rhythm to Issé’s designs. Meticulous stitching and weaving are the hallmarks of this unbelievably refined textile. Finely woven yet detailed Oscar is a remarkable feat in weaving technology. One does need to see its wonder close-up.

Louis

Plush & lush, Louis is the softest of chenilles. Woven into deep textural reliefs, light bounces across long fine satin fibres. A remarkably sophisticated & tempting selection of colours & at 60,000 martindales Louis is tough.

Sophie

A poetic balance of the raw & natural with transparency & light. Collaborating with architect and designer, Sophie Dries, Issé-Edition creates an organic sheer made of 100% jute. Double width. Light gently flows through its openwork mesh.

Issé Edition has lovely sheers for day curtains. Sheers that are exquisite & well considered,  that help to define the sensibility of the space.  Great curtains, whether day or night make a huge difference.

“Issé Edition invites you to rethink spaces, naturally blurring the distinctions between indoors and out. Our fabrics draw their inspiration from the contours of a landscape, light on stone, the blowing wind – so many details that shape the finished article”

If you would like to see these textiles just ask.  Issé’s website is brilliant and you can see all their designs here.

Eden–tightly hand knotted

This is Eden in nougat, opulent and made with fine hand-dyed wool.  The tightness of the knotting creates a remarkable lustre across the rug, a pleasure to walk upon. Armadillo say that they were inspired by heavenly frescoes defining luxury rugs in Singapore.  Eden is lavishly soft to touch and a reverie to gaze upon.

Alma

Devastatingly exquisite. Part of the Gaia collection — a collaboration between Armadillo and Catalonian artist Carla Cascales Alimbau Alma is, quite simply, like walking upon art.

Hand-knotted from silk and wool, its ultra-low pile carries a lustrous texture and nuanced tonal gradations that ensure no two rugs are exactly the same. A subtle luminosity. A gentle patina that shifts with the light, with the hour, with the years. A reminder, underfoot, that all things transform over time.

Agra

Look closely above. Five rugs, each one tightly hand-knotted, densely worked. Made from the finest abrash-dyed wool, the pile cut deep, tone within tone, beautifully nuanced. Watch how it catches the light.

Armadillo stock ten Agra colour-ways and offer a further forty-four custom colours made precisely for your vision. Agra is certified for commercial use.

“Our ethos is to create thoughtful and intuitive products that will satisfy real human needs and restore meaning to our lives. Our rugs are crafted from carefully sourced natural materials in a completely handmade process that brings conscious living to the fore, helping us to simplify, slow down, and engage more deeply with our spaces as they evolve alongside us.

Jodie Fried, founder interviewed by ‘The Textile Eye”

Braid

Hand-plaited. Coiled. Stitched into a circle.

Circles are ancient, continuous, unbroken, it asks nothing of a room and yet brings everything to it. In Feng Shui, the circle represents unity and completeness energy moving through a space without interruption, softening what is harsh, under the dining table Braid brings connection and allows Qi to flow.

Luxurious wool-blend yarn, vibrant yet restrained in colour. Gentle curves meeting rippling texture. Place it under a round table. Place it somewhere unexpected. It will find its place.

Latitude crafted for this clime

Fine and flat woven. A luxury linen rug, Latitude lays a distinctly contemporary foundation without effort. Subtle colour shifts move across the surface like light through a window. Linen is the most honest of materials, a natural fibre rug built for warm air and cool interiors. Light in feel, confident in presence.

Kyoto’s bamboo forests

With an excellent climate for growing the highest quality bamboo combined with a huge respect for artisan skills Takesada Sotan has produced many famous bamboos known as  the ‘Kyoto bamboos’.  These include ‘white bamboo’, ‘drawing bamboo’, ‘sesame bamboo’ and ‘tortoiseshell bamboo’.

“A dedicated team of Kyoto artisans, continuously engaging in a lifelong dialogue

with bamboo”

Skilled bamboo artisans

With its unique flexibility, strength and delicacy, glossiness and smoothness, bamboo transforms into various fabulous products. Takesada Shoten partners with designers to advance bamboo’s possibilities, honing each idea through precise refinement and testing.

On the ceiling is a thin ‘flat-split’ bamboo; beautifully balanced with a flat yet slightly curved surface. Takesada Shoten manufactures flat-split bamboo from exactly 2mm to 60mm, splitting the round bamboo and carefully shaving the side to uniform widths. In the far left corner is a panel in the impeccable ‘hammer-split’ design – a popular wall decor in Kyoto homes that we know that it will look excellent in Singapore spaces adding a refined luxurious texture.

Hospitality

Artisan bamboo is undoubtedly popular for restaurant interior design, whether for Japanese restaurants or cocktail bars, this is a romantic material that creates elegant textures.

Hammer split

An absolutely beautiful bamboo panel, known as Hishigi it is made using a specific tool. The cracks provide the charm and thus it is a popular decoration in Kyoto homes. Below you can see it being made.

Half Split

More curvaceous than the flat split panel the half split is more three dimensional.  Here you can see dyed green bamboo (natural green bamboo fades), black bamboo with fading, and white bamboo. In this case the white bamboo is more refined with the sides shaved off.  So many options.

Parallel Split

Bamboo in cross-section is revealed, a fascinating repetition. The outer-sides are retained whilst the front and back are shaved off, and depending upon the width and position of the bamboo nodes the look changes.  When thick and robust the result is more three-dimensional whilst thin and delicate bamboo is planar.

Paradiso

Inspired by traditional Japanese art this mural captures the ethereal beauty of cranes, their graceful & serene forms. There are six panels printed on metal leaf paper either in gold or silver.  The design layers organic fluidity with geometric detail, creating a rich, textured composition. Adding extra depth their Moneta design creates a stunning geometric band,  Rooted in classic aesthetics yet infused with a contemporary spirit, it offers a timeless, sophisticated character. Available in two colourways: Tranquillo, Arrabbiata.

We’re loving the interplay of scale—juxtaposing a bold mural with a delicate repeat. And you can just see the beauty of Aux Abris luxury designer wallpaper in the close-up above: Paradiso, a sweeping mural, is balanced by Moneta, a compelling floral inspired by kimono patterns. Its small repeat and layered elegance hint at a Peranakan sensibility that we think will resonate in Singapore interiors.

The Alchemy Collection

Undeniably sophisticated this collection is printed upon metal leaf in either gold or silver.  There is a depth to all these designs and the paper is thick and opulent. Above is ‘Vespa’ a funky chevron with a ton of movement.

Cosmo

Like BODE, Aux Abris love marbled papers, and for the Alchemy collection they take it a step further printing on metal leaf papers. All the colours are named after cocktails reflecting the bubbly explosive fun that these papers will add to your space. @h.qdesign

Aux Abris do their own printing and they like to do it well, there is attention to detail and you can see that they don’t skip corners.  We hold this desire to be as good as you can be dear.  Note, their non woven bases and inks are the highest quality and there is flexibility in roll lengths.

This is Dragonfly—a striking design with graceful movement and a soft, painterly watercolour finish. The colour palette is exceptional, Dragonfly is a standout example of the Aux Abris luxury designer wallpaper artistry, showcasing their impeccable eye for colour — with each colour way more captivating than the last.

Botanicals

Printed upon  silk this classic chinoiserie mural is particularly detailed with birds, butterflies and blossom.  In the style of John James Auduban it comes in a myriad of colours and custom colours are available.  The repeat is 3 panels and will be custom fitted to your wall dimensions which minimises waste.
