Sophisticated Tribal Patterns

French fabric manufacturer Pierre Frey recently released a collection that we’ve fallen in love with here at Space as Art. Appropriately named Collection Origines, the abundance of pattern, color and texture ignites an excitement within and spurs thoughts of exploring far-away cultures.

The Origines collection which is composed of embroideries, prints and jacquards, is a tribute to the indigenous tribes who we’re able to feature with beauty and fortitude their surrounding elements, water and earth.” ~Pierre Frey Paris

The Aboriginal people of Australia didn’t write stories with words but rather painted stories using symbols such as those pictured above. Take a closer look at the fabrics to see these symbols appear within the patterns and appreciate another level of beauty to this collection.
