Orlando Diaz-Azcuy For Le Gracieux
Those contemplating an upholstery, drapery or pillow update are in luck: Greige Textiles’ latest all-California endeavor, Holiday House, is well worth a look. Starting out as hand-drawn images by founder Christina Fluegge, the patterns are realized by artisan craftspeople in San Francisco. The five motifs of Holiday House, which are screen-printed on Belgian linen, evoke the ease of summer. Lisbet, for example, was inspired by flowers in bloom by the roadside, while Elodie suggests sand patterns that appear at low tide. Whether used solo or layered together, they serve as lovely reminders of days spent under the sun or by the sea.
Given the enduring elegance of his projects, it’s no surprise that for his recently unveiled textile collection with le gracieux, esteemed interior designer Orlando Diaz-Azcuy took a timeless rather than trend-driven approach—what the founder of San Francisco-based ODADA describes as “intelligent design.” A minimalist yet luxurious quality permeates the collaboration, comprising eight patterns that merge structure with a sense of organic natural beauty. Available in four colorways, each is hand-drawn by Azcuy and subsequently printed on 100% Irish flax linen at le gracieux’s Southern California facility.
