Seven New Nature-Inspired Sheers Made From Spun Jute
Ancient Japanese gardens were once sacred spaces reserved for those seeking quiet contemplation and enlightenment. Master artisans meticulously sculpted every surface with a steady hand to achieve transcendent refinement and evoke an intimate connection with nature. Today, Japanese Gardens are revered worldwide for their delicate beauty and serenity, and are considered a living reflection of history and culture. This ancient living art served as the inspiration for seven new KottaWeave sheers.
Each of these new sheers is made from spun jute and is naturally heathered in appearance. The update is designed in a range of neutral earth tones to compliment any design style, and offers an ideal option for creating a layered, complex and harmonious design.
