This block-printed tablecloth is hand-printed on a cotton/linen textile.
Named for Eros, the Greek god of love and desire, the red displays the relationship between romance and power.
The patterns in this collection blend a wide range of influences, from motifs of traditional Indian sarees, to the geometry of the Vienna Secession, to the ornamentation of Third Style Pompeii frescoes. The collection's name, Tesserae, symbolizes this idea - much like the small, intricate pieces of a mosaic, every influence from these block printed patterns and construction of each piece come together to create the whole.
Size: 96 x 60 inches
Material: 50% cotton / 50% linen
Care: Wash cold separately, lay flat to dry. Iron if needed

Their process is slow, studied, and sincere with timeless works that are heartfelt and handmade.
