Jim Thompson - Floriental & Saracen Collections

FLORIENTAL & SARACEN

“ LIFE IMITATES ART FAR MORE THAN ART IMITATES LIFE ” OSCAR WILDE

FLORIE NTAL Old world elegance and charm manifests on an array of luxury, ornamental prints to create Floriental. Inspired by floral and oriental elements, this collection sees the restoration of 18th century damasks and artisan warp printing techniques, giving historic artwork a fresh lease of life. The Romantic designs presented in this range glorify the past and nature in a classically ornate manner; picturesque birds nestled amongst blossoming peonies adorn bright silk and linen with chintz finishing, while decorative Art Nouveau motifs are revived on rich velvets.

SARACE N Saracen is a range of high-performance fabrics that similarly reflects the opulence of a bygone era. Constructed in Trevira CS, and inspired by Moorish art and architecture and the highly decorative motifs of the Byzantine Empire, Saracen creatively brings together style and durability in equal measure. An arabesque look and feel is a distinct feature, noticeable in Ablaq, our Moorish stripe; Ebru, a marble inspired jacquard; and Nasrid, a geometric design, which is influenced by intricate palace tiling from the culturally rich metropole of Constantinople. Reflecting the Turkish capital’s geographic position, connecting Europe with Asia, the collection evokes an ‘East meets West’ feel, a concept that is synonymous with Jim Thompson, a man who famously travelled from the West to settle in the East.
