The Mundanad House is our first foray into designing custom textiles for a boutique hotel in India.

 

The brief for this project was to design textiles for the suites at this luxury boutique stay in Thiruvananthapuram. The restoration of this traditional family home in Kerala began with analyzing the structure and strengthening the foundations of the building. While exploring the idea of it being a heritage hotel, we were taken in by the colourful patterns of the ‘athangudi’ tiles, a traditional art form practiced in Chettinad at one time. We decided to use the flooring as our starting point for the collection, keeping the tones true to the architecture of the place.

Keeping the patterning of the floor as a central focus of the experience, the textiles were to gently borrow from this vernacular art form in colour and pattern. I used a combination of patchwork and traditional hand-done applique, keeping the patterns bold, simple and minimal. The colours we used are tan, mustard, sky blue, teal and confederate grey with a highlight of stripes for the edges. The fabrics are pure cotton so that they may be easily laundered.
