5 Textile Inspired
Taking its cue from the ancient Japanese textile dying technique shibori, Forms+surfaces’ Vivitela Shibori line translates this art into a range of semi-opaque surfaces. Each of the six patterns (Aurora Three is shown) is fully customizable in any Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-williams or Pantone hue. forms-surfaces.com
