Conceived as the textile translation of an aerial view of the desert, HÉRITAGE is a 100% cotton Jacquard fabric. The irregularity ofthe landscape has been transcribed into contrasting weave patterns and slanting lines colliding with one another, like the ever-changing shapes of the desert dunes. The design is further enhanced by patches displaying a granular effect that brings contrast to the whole. Available in three variants: natural, autumnal and terracotta.

KHAÏMA (the Arabic word for the 'tent' traditionally used by nomads travelling in the desert) is the only high-performance material in the collection - a natural and soft touch polyester fabric. From beige to navy to terracotta, KHAÏMA is available in six colourways that share the same earth-toned base woven with pyramid-shaped motifs.

Now let us return to the ground to have a closer look at the dunes that have given their name to this design: a Jacquard with a pattern of stripes and curves evoking a desert skyline, but mixed with streaks of linen that add texture and a sense of modernity with tonal edges. The result is a rich, heavy and modern weave fabric that just hangs beautifully. Available in three colourways.

DESERT is a very soft chenille Jacquard fabric featuring delicate linen wefts evoking the curves and lines of the desert as faint waves. Available in two colourways, this fabric woven from heavy yarn incorporates plays on texture and light, subtly blending streaks of glossy and matt finishes.

A beautifully textured Jacquard, SILLONS boasts a gorgeous striped effect. The intricate pattern is the result of a meticulous choice of weft yarn, dyed in different colours to convey a sense of irregularity, almost randomness through vertical and horizontal striations. This cotton blend fabric comes in four subtle variants showcasing a playful exploration of weave patterns, pixels and light.

NOMADE is probably the design where Tristan Auer's architectural inspiration for NAJD is most palpable. The design consists of smallsquares arranged into trompe-l'oeil windows in a nod to the mashrabiyas typical of the area. Though the fabric looks embroidered with its raised effect, it is actually a true Jacquard, available in four colourways that echo the palette for the rest of the collection.
