Zig Zag showcases a dynamic pattern that intertwines zigzag motifs in a delightful display of rhythmand movement. Kemp’s admiration for the design shines through as she shares, “this textile is tough and bold and strong. I love it! I will use it on walls and on sofas and chairs. It was inspired by an artist I admire, Sean Scully. I love the hand-painted texture Michal has managed to achieve. Zig Zag sounds free-moving and big.”
