Ara, by Margrethe Odgaard, is a vibrant upholstery textile that continues her exploration of innovative mélange expressions. The color concept is inspired by tropical birds, celebrated for their vividly colored plumage. Unlike conventional mélanges made by blending fibers, Ara consists of solid dots of color jacquard woven into a neutral background. The subtly energetic contrast between the sparks of color and the ground gives Ara an eye-catching expression.
