Ma Poésie is the creation of Parisienne Elsa Poux. A graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Elsa is inspired by ethnic cultures and crafting know-how, designing unique patterns inspired by travel, architecture, drawing and painting, with a strong colour influence from Russian abstract artist Sonia Delaunay. Delaunay, known for her avant-gardist research on rhythms and colours, declared in 1923 that her fabric drawings were as much “poetry” as “the expression of a state of mind”.
Elsa's designs are imbued with a strong graphic identity and a range of very personal colours, and revealed through artisanal techniques of weaving, screen printing and embroidery on cotton, silk or wool.
It takes the craftsman an average of 11 hours to weave this delicate cotton. The iconic motif is applied to this delicate weaving using traditional flat frame printing. This cotton is hand-woven in weaving villages in Bengal, India.
