Grain

Handloom wool with a grain like wood and layered earth.

The Grain Collection

Handloom woven wool, cut to a short, dense pile. The colour is streaked row by row in fine lines, each one a little lighter or darker than the last.

In low sun the lines catch and glow, like the grain in timber or layers of earth. In shade they settle and go quiet.

Seven colours, set in a 1910 Chettinad house opened up to light, with clean, contemporary pieces. Old walls, a fresh eye.

Morning

First light

Sun comes in low between the pillars. Russet takes it warm and slow, the colour of red earth.

Late morning

On the verandah

Frangipani on the stone, cane and teak, the courtyard warming. Tan sits under it all like sun on honey.

A pillared corridor with light at the far end

Midday

Cool and still

The house goes quiet at noon. A long table, a chair just pushed back, a soft taupe with the grain of old timber.

A lime plaster stair with one band of sun

Afternoon

Quiet work

One band of sun crosses the floor and moves an inch an hour. Pale golden sand, made for long, slow days.

Afternoon

Open to the courtyard

Shutters half closed, stems in a glass. The light turns soft and green, and Sage keeps the stillness.

The quiet hour

Stay a while

Shutter light falls in stripes by the bed. A colour like raw linen, and nothing to do but rest.

Last light

The last gold light reaches the room off the courtyard. Umber turns deep and warm, like earth after rain.
