Iris - Hand Block Printed Linen Pillow Cover (Blue)

Tranquil and timeless, the Iris pillow cover celebrates the poetry of blue in all its shades. Its hand block printed motifs bloom in layered tones of indigo and sky, creating depth and calm reminiscent of twilight reflections on water.

PROVENANCE

Inspired by the grace of the iris flower and the ornate geometry of Mughal architecture, this design bridges nature and structure in perfect harmony. The floral motifs echo the arches and latticework found in ancient palaces, where art and craftsmanship intertwined seamlessly. The blue-on-blue palette draws from India’s indigo heritage, once revered as “blue gold”, and captures the serenity and strength of this timeless hue.

PROCESS

Each Iris cover is hand block printed by skilled artisans in India using time-honored techniques. The motifs are first hand-carved into wooden blocks, then inked and stamped carefully, layer by layer, to achieve the rich tonal play of blue. Every piece carries subtle variations that speak of the human hand - its rhythm, intention, and artistry.
