Gloriette Passementerie
Gloriette is a collection of luxurious passementerie celebrating Neoclassical architecture. The patterns in the collection draw upon two different architectural principles. One series focuses on Palladian symmetry, order and proportions, while a second narrative references the extraordinary Florentine Pietra Dura mosaic work and its vivid colour sensibility.
There are eight designs in the collection, detailed below.
First designed by Jo leGleud as a collaboration with Samuel & Sons.
