Marèa

Named after the Italian word for tide, Marea is a collection of original artworks and hand-dyed table linens created in collaboration with Dublin-based natural dye artist Kathryn Davey, inspired by the weathered walls of Venice.

Drawing on the faded colours, layered textures and beautiful imperfections of Venetian architecture, Kathryn has developed a palette of natural pigments using botanical ingredients such as pomegranate rind, acacia and flowers grown in her own garden.

These colours find expression in a series of one-of-a-kind abstract artworks on linen and a collection of ramie and cotton dinner napkins, finished with traditional hemstitch detailing. Each piece bears the subtle variations and irregularities characteristic of natural dyes, celebrating the passage of time, the beauty of imperfection and the artistry of working with nature.
