Papua New Guinean artisans are proud master craftspeople. Oro Province Tapa cloth ( pictured), a traditional bark cloth, is crafted from beaten bark of the paper mulberry tree, then coloured with nature’s materials. The Pacific Collection is focused on the use of natural fibres, ethically sourced materials and the preservation of craftsmanship.
The Trobriand Islands or ‘The Trobes’ are a series of low set islands in the Milne Bay Province found in the Solomon Sea. An array of master carvers reside on these islands, and their skills and artistry are both intricate and symbolic. These designs mark the beginning of this Considered Collection, and a collaboration with contemporary designer @darcy_clarke_studio and designers from @genslersydney 🌿 We will be exhibiting the first of our collections @ny_now Artisan Resource from February 3-6 in New York City.
