Despite their contemporary appearance, these zig-zags are quite primitive in origin. The newest in
Wolf-Gordon's collection of patterns,
Adire, is a woven textile based on the indigenous artwork at the
Museum of International Folk Art in New Mexico. Traditionally an indigo-dyed cloth made in Africa using resist dye techniques, this pattern is inspired by beaded panels crafted by the Ndebeel people of South Africa.
Wolf-Gordon Design Director
Kari Pei explained what makes the product so 'green': “The pre and post consumer up cycling initiative [and the low-emitting Crypton Green finish] ensures that all of our products go on to lead a noble life after they're no longer needed as wallcovering."
