Overview

Parvaze, a talented chain stitch artist from Kashmir, showcases the exquisite beauty of this ancient craft through his work. Using worsted yarn of high quality and traditional techniques, Parvaze creates intricate patterns on hessain cloth, employing a hook-type tool known as "Aurah" with skillful precision. His artwork not only pays homage to the rich heritage of Kashmiri craftsmanship but also reflects a contemporary reinterpretation of influences from great masters like Kandinski and Miro.

For its latest series, Parvaze collaborated with Peter Mayer, an American designer originally from San Francisco, with over 30 years' experience in the creative sector. His designs are partly inspired by his time in Bali, where he developed a deep appreciation of the convergence of craftsmanship and creative expression.
