Arjumand's World

Arjumand's travels begin in Agra, India. It is in Agra that Arjumand rediscovers and imagines its first decorative idea: the Imperial collection, printed on fabric and wallpaper.
The decorative motifs of Moghol and Ottoman inspiration are the result of what is Princess Arjumand, Persian by origin, Moghol by adoption. The Taj Mahal, mausoleum erected in memory of Arjumand, is the testimony of this.
From Agra Arjumand will leave crossing the great Asia to the discovery of countries and peoples: the great Russia, where Arjumand finds hints of old fabrics created in Genoa in the seventeenth century for the Russian court.
Japan, an island where Arjumand finds ancient fabrics dyed with indigo blue, the result of the passion experienced in the 19th century for the color Indigo through plants such as Polygonium tinctorium from which the pigment that originates the color blue is derived, a sophisticated blue, on which Japan experimented a lot at the time.
South East China, the Miao population, where he finds local folk clothing entirely embroidered, the inspiration for the China collection. Rows, squares, curls, dancing flowers.
The Arab countries, where Arjumand rediscovers the decorative motif in its most absolute sense: geometry and the hypnotic repeat of an iconoclastic world.
The Balkan peninsula, and consequently and interconnected Greece and the Turkish coast, embroideries representing what the eye of women sees and the hand embroiders, testimonies of flowers and stylized nature, ancient but contemporary at the same time.

Welcome to the imaginary world of Arjumand.
