Karen and Pepa Shibori

Using a Japanese dyeing technique that involves folding, twisting, bunching and binding cloth before dyeing it in indigo, Shibori duo Pepa Martin and Karen Davis’ designs are multi-layered and contemporary.

We are thrilled to bring you their collections Mineralism, The Place of Zen, and Archive Collection 01.

The Place of Zen

Shibori and Materialised transport you to The Place of Zen. A poetic collection of prints invoking creativity, nature’s architecture and sculptural form. This collection is made up of nine designs and one mural, suitable for a wide range of projects.

Mineralism

Shibori’s Mineralism collection celebrates the wonders of Australasian minerals and the diversity of their creation. Five designs are available in three colour palettes, printable on our fit-for-purpose furnishing textile and wall covering substrates.
