HBF Textiles has partnered with Elodie Blanchard for another textile collection. The Raw Materials collection for HBF Textiles aims to make the office a second home as opposed to a corporate environment.
The six fabrics found in Raw Materials offer individual character. Ranging from natural and simple tones to abstract and spontaneous patterns, Raw Materials creates a series that captures the essence of the yarn engaged. Designs like Double Stitch, Sideways, Outdoor Check, and Italian Wool can be used with minimal furniture and lighter woods in an open office environment, in colors that are neutral and vibrant hues. Scribble XS and Scribble XL are woven versions of Elodie’s stitched and painted artwork, as modern abstract art pieces that lend sophistication to work spaces and are suitable for formal and friendly offices alike.
The HBF Textiles craftsmanship and dedication to fabrics allows for the Raw Materials collection to thrive in a variety of settings. The flexibility of the collection is testament to its artistry, allowing the individual to utilize Raw Materials in a residential, office, or commercial setting, all while maintaining a level of comfort and performance.
Each fabric in the collection adds to the aesthetics of a room in its own way. From Double Stitch that helps create a natural environment to the Scribble XL that adds elegance to a previously sterile office; Raw Materials enlivens a space with textural excitement. Elodie’s own artwork is incorporated into both Scribble XS and Scribble XL, adding personal inspiration into the collection. With Scribble XS, Elodie used her experience to stitch repeatedly a spontaneous pattern, created from a variety of gestural stitched lines. Scribble XL was painted by Elodie with large brush strokes to capture an abstract nature. Both patterns express the hand of the maker, adding a handcrafted influence to the collection.
HBF Textiles prides itself on its quality standards and life of product, and Raw Materials is no exception. With the Outdoor Check and Scribble XL, the collection reflects luxury with a performance component. With three of these fabrics averaging 80 percent wool content, the collection is woven and made to last by artisan mills chosen for their experience and expertise. Four of the designs boast abrasion performance with more than 98,000 double rubs.
