Textile partnership with Garro Editions
We’ve been working closely with Garro Éditions in France to produce a fabulous range of artistic textiles, specially designed for interior decoration and furnishing.
Garro Éditions launched its first collection during Milan Art & Design Week in April this year. ‘Collection #01’ highlights the creations of six international artists, from painters and sculptors to architects and designers.
The collection features six works by Henry Moore, produced between 1931 and 1973, which demonstrate the breadth of subjects and techniques he worked with.
From instantly recognisable ‘Reclining Figures’ to the intimate pen drawing Haringey Circus Horses, this curated selection presents some exciting highlights from forty years of Moore’s graphic work.
Alongside Moore, the other artists in ‘Collection #01’ are: Amer Musa, a painter originally from Sudan; Claud Christian, a design studio based in Newcastle, England; Marcus Oakley, an illustrator based in Scotland; Pauline Deltour, a shooting star of Parisian architecture and design; and Sybille Berger, a textile designer living in Marseille.
“Garro Éditions bridges between art and textiles, design and art, and promotes the work of contemporary artists and traditional craftsmen.
“Our collections represents a fusion of artistic talent, textile expertise and commitment to sustainability. Each textile piece bears witness to its unique history and invites us on a journey at the crossroads of art and craftsmanship.”

Sustainability
Flax is a sustainable fibre that produces linen fabric, it is the oldest utilitarian plant and linen is the oldest textile in the world.
Flax is grown quickly and easily and protects the soil and water resources: it requires few chemicals, and does not require irrigation during its cultivation.
French flax fibre is considered among the best quality in the world.
