The Tree of Life story is inspired by hand painted Indian Palampore textiles of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Tree of Life textiles symbolise the personal journey through nature’s life cycle, with versions of this ancient motif found all around the world. Our designers reworked ornate archive artworks into simplified layouts to enhance the striking floral motifs and patternation, complemented by new contemporary coordinate designs. The team took inspiration from the bold colouration of mordant dyes and natural pigments – printed on an iridescent non-woven ground for wallpaper and on linen in flat colour for fabrics, Palampore Trail shines with rich shades reminiscent of these exquisite plant and insect dyes.
