Double-sided cotton stole with kaleidoscope patchwork

Kaleidoscope patchwork:

I have been integrating more intentional geometry in creating patchwork that could speak a different design language. I play around with the size of the squares and see what proportions of stripes will blend with the aesthetics. What colours next to each other make the squares pop, what makes them surrender? How to turn squares into rectangles and triangles into squares. To me, these compositions are like working with tiles. They carry an intention of balance and harmony, something that geometry provides effortlessly. 

The beginning of Mora was based on the decision to create a design solution that could accommodate any shape and size of textiles that would otherwise make it to waste hills. This decision gave me the confidence that the purpose of textile waste management is an essential aspect of Mora design. A constant has been kept alive where the workshop is handled by my dear mother, who has given tangibility to this vision. She meticulously manages and segregates each smallest piece of fabric that appears in the process of stitching and those become our gold mine to cull out wonders from!

Chōwa is a one-of-a-kind textile designed to highlight a unique coming together of various techniques and creativity of handcraft. This design will not be recreated.
