Inspired by travel and nature, Eskayel’s designs often begin with studio founder Shanan Campanaro’s flowing ink-based paintings. In a collaborative process, Elte worked with the Brooklyn-based textile design studio to translate Shanan’s organic forms and natural colour palette from watercolour to weaving.

“I HAVE ALWAYS FELT VERY CONNECTED WITH THE OCEAN AND THE WATER. I’VE ALWAYS LIVED NEAR WATER, I LOVE BEING IN THE WATER, I LOVE SURFING. THE WATER ELEMENT IS A MAIN PART OF MY PROCESS WHEN PAINTING–I LOVE THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF IT AND THE MISTAKES THAT END UP BEING HAPPY ACCIDENTS. YOU JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT COLOURS WILL BLEED INTO OTHER COLOURS OR WHAT SHAPES WILL FORM.” — S H A N A N C A M PA N A R O, E S K AY E L

Shanan Campanaro’s creative vision, inspired by forms and colours from travel and nature, often takes the form of waterbased ink paintings. Her Brooklyn-based textile design studio, Eskayel, marries this vision with craft and sustainability, producing designs across mediums such as fabric or wallpaper.

The Eskayel Collection for Elte brings together the creative vision of this contemporary artist and designer with centuries-old weaving traditions and craft.

Through this collaboration, Elte’s rug specialist Jamie Metrick worked closely with Shanan, Nick, and the Eskayel team to translate Eskayel’s designs to rugs for the home. For generations, Elte has developed a network of craftsmen around the world, and a deep knowledge of weaving techniques and quality.

Knowing craft and technique would be integral to faithfully translating Shanan’s flowing, organic forms from watercolours into weaving, Elte selected a master artisan in Jaipur whose old world weaving technique would complement Eskayel’s modern designs.

All rugs in this collection are made possible by highly skilled weavers and experts in yarn dyeing techniques. Each Eskayel pattern is translated with impressive devotion to the original artwork using hundreds of thousands of hand tied knots in each rug. The rugs are hand-dyed, hand-knotted and hand-cut to accomplish Eskayel’s signature aesthetic that involves shadowing and intricate blending of colour. The close collaboration between artisan and designer that made this possible took place over several years, between Brooklyn, Jaipur, and Toronto.

The Eskayel Collection is available exclusively through Elte.

Eskayel is a New York-based textile design studio that weaves fine art with exacting craftsmanship. Dedicated to sustainable innovation and lasting beauty, it treats all environments conscientiously.

Each of Eskayel’s one-of-akind designs originates from a painting inspired by nature or travel and created by studio founder Shanan Campanaro.

Using eco-friendly methods, including water-based pigment ink, regional production and sustainably sourced materials, Eskayel evolves these artworks into hand-tied rugs, wall coverings, home linens, fabrics, furnishings, accessories and more. Working with trusted, transparent production partners, the studio makes each item in order to eliminate stock waste and ensure superior quality.

A family-owned business for over a century, Elte was founded in Paris in 1919 by Leon Tenenbaum (whose initials “LT” inspired our store’s name). Over the last 100 years, Elte has become Toronto’s source for the best design for home, from timeless pieces to the most distinct objects.

Elte collaborates closely with designers and craftspeople.

Our standards are exacting.

We believe in encouraging designers to create, developing lasting relationships with makers, and championing objects that last. With over 100 years of expertise, and built on our family tradition of furniture and rug knowledge, Elte is proud to continue our commitment to considered design for the home and support the next generation of design talent.

Eskayel donates a percent of its total sales to environmental organizations.
