'Glissando' Shibori Pattern

'Glissando' Shibori emerged from a series of hand-dyed silk studies. Using Venable Moore’s interpretation of the Arashi Shibori method, we created the initial studies for this pattern by layering different strengths of the same color on intricately bound and folded fabric. This process created the sinuous, gliding effect that is emblematic of this print.

The design retains the fluid motion of the original hand-dyed pieces and its sweeping rhythm and painterly quality bring depth and movement to interiors. The pattern unfolds particularly well across larger applications. 

Each Venable Moore pattern begins with a hand-painted, hand-dyed, or hand-draw original artwork and is sustainably produced to order in the United States. Fabrics are printed on natural fibers using low-waste processes and eco-friendly inks.

'Glissando' Shibori is available as 100% European linen fabric by the yard, linen pillow covers, and table linens in six colorways. The standard grounds are suitable for residential and low-traffic environments. Alternate and performance grounds are available to the trade for high-use applications.
