The September issue of Domino magazine profiles Montreal-based textile designer [2] Anupama Swaminadhan, whose years-ago stint overseeing the production of couture fabrics in India informs her current work. Swaminadhan’s new line of pillows, stoles and other home accessories are created through [3] kalamkari, an ancient Indian printing technique. The dyes used in the line are all-natural and come from vegetable and mineral dyes. For inspiration, Swaminadhan draws on India’s “[t]raditional temple art depicting mythological scenes and narratives.”
Domino also features Swaminadhan’s line in its back-of-the-book “[4] Domino Deals” section.
