Some things simply have to be experienced in person. A tapestry is one of them. The way a thread catches the light, the depth of a weave, the texture under your fingertips: no screen can capture that.

Which rules did MaryMcDonald, Suzanne Kasler and Thomas O'Brien break to create an extra ordinary new design?

Scientifically speaking, true beauty is balanced. Balance can be anything—the peacefulness of Zen, the wildness of nature, or even the oddities of Alice in Wonderland. But regardless of its type, it always makes sense. A good designer can balance the unbalanced and make anything beautiful.

Tapestry Art has been featured in the most recent issue of RS Wonen ‘Modern & Hedendaags’, a Belgian magazine for the Dutch-speaking community. The ‘Modern & Hedendaags’ (modern and contemporary) issue focuses on various styles of contemporary living. The article explains all about how tradition is woven into contemporary and innovative living.

Authenticity, humility, and professionalism are the qualities that we wanted to represent our tapestry collection. These words also perfectly describe Toots Thielemans. A man who was unfailingly friendly, eternally modest, and always willing to have a chat with anyone—regardless of their ‘station’ in life, even though he played with some the world’s greatest musicians. Because performing miracles with the harmonica was precisely what he did so beautifully, making an ‘ordinary’ instrument extraordinary.
