Monet

Jacquard velvet, a tribute to Claude Monet

The Monet collection, like the E.Degas catalog, appeals to the work of a particular artist and is a design experiment for which spectacular, vibrant fabrics were used.

Brushstrokes

Eustergerling's designers were inspired by pure, light, delicate flowers, each time revealed in a new way under Monet's brush. The pond in Giverny with water lilies floating on its surface is embodied in an unusual design with textured decorative circles on a textured basis, which flourish on the fabric like the outlines of lilies traced on the water. The elaborate color combinations, repeating the strokes left by the hand of the master on the picture, imitate flower petals, give the velvet depth.

New approach

Hommage (fr.) in the form of reinterpreted catalogue-imitation allowed to reflect geometry and play with symbolism using inversion: the circles referring to the leaves on the water have a pronounced volume and light shine, and the plasticity of the soft matte base emphasizes the image. The matte finish provides an unexpected design touch.

Design duality

Creating the collection through the special prism of impressionism, the designers wanted to achieve the effect that the colors play and reveal themselves differently depending on the light and on how you look at them.

The collection's secret

The directionality of the pile supports the play of light. If the pile is pointed downwards, the circles look lighter and the glare is more noticeable. If the pile is directed upwards, the velvet dots absorb the light. Due to this secret, the Monet collection hides twice as many colors.

Practicality

The impressive short pile, plain weave fabric is characterized by the inherent tactility of velvet and its ability to reduce noise. Resistant to abrasion with 35,000 Martindale cycles and the width is 140 cm.

 


Palette

The 14 colors of the Monet collection palette create the same complex color transitions and support Claude Monet's idea of image duality. At the same time the palettes are dedicated not only to water lilies, but also to other masterpieces of the French master:
