Kinondo Fabric - Rust
Kinondo Kwetu, the most beautiful boutique hotel on the Kenyan coast, served as inspiration for this geometric pattern. The hotel is run by the Swedish couple Ida and Philip and Cathy has had the most memorable stays in this gem. The Kenyan culture with its warm and gentle people and colorful textiles is an endless source of inspiration. Photos from her stays at Kinondo Kwetu and one of Cathy’s favorite books, African Textiles, laid the ground for the sketches which resulted in the Kinondo pattern. A simple hand drawn geometric shape, imperfect and strong in its simplicity.
Use: Most suitable for domestic upholstery. Please note that over exposure to sunlight may slightly fade the fabric over time.
SPECIFICATIONS
Hand printed in Sweden.
Our heritage collection is hand printed using a time-honored screen printing technique. Each color is applied by hand, layer by layer. Two skilled printers work in tandem, guiding the squeegee across the screen in a slow, steady rhythm until the pattern emerges in full.
The fabrics are then heat-set to ensure durability, without the need for washing — saving large amounts of water. We use water-based pigment dyes that are gentle on the environment and certified by the EU Ecolabel, OEKO-TEX® Baby, and the Nordic Swan.
