The inspiration for this capsule collection called Coligny was an eyponymous fabric from the Backhausen Archive designed by Helene Geiringer in 1914, which captivates thanks to the contrast between noble viscose and natural jute. This interplay between elegance, and tranquility and naturalness has been interpreted into a curtain and decoration material by Backhausen made of a viscose-wool-hemp mix. This has remained true to the original design by Helene Geiringer and plays with classical surface patterns, freely swinging pointed ovals and rhombuses with fantasy blossoms at their centres.Each design in the Coligny collection has been carefully selected to complement other parts of the portfolio in terms of pattern, colour and the natural materials used to weave them. Coligny is Backhausen’s natural daydream translated into fabric.
