Donghia
Donghia’s second stop is Greenland; the largest island in the world, where we encounter PISCES, 
a sea of vibrantly colored fish. This figurative jacquard offers a whimsical twist to native Nordic drawings. PISCES, a reversible cotton textile, can make a bold, color statement or choose the ecru with brightly outlined fish for a quieter touch. Available in eight color-ways, these fishmake the perfect catch any day!
Donghia understands the power and drama of old world craftsmanship and how to use it in unexpected ways. INTAGLIO, the firm’s latest patterned weave, mimics the surface effects found in an ancient printing process of the same name. By combining cotton, linen, silk and viscose in a damask weave, this monochromatic textile gives the illusion of high/low relief, reminiscent of Victorian tin ceilings. The all-over pattern is rendered in a range of eight jewel-toned colors that move from deep aubergine to vivid green.
Donghia has taken the romance and splendor of the past and transformed them into the simplicity and clarity of the moment with the textile. Suite 503, 202.479-2724
