Named for Eros, the Greek god of love and desire, the red displays the relationship between romance and power.
The patterns in this collection blend a wide range of influences, from motifs of traditional Indian sarees, to the geometry of the Vienna Secession, to the ornamentation of Third Style Pompeii frescoes. The collection's name, Tesserae, symbolizes this idea - much like the small, intricate pieces of a mosaic, every influence from these block printed patterns and construction of each piece come together to create the whole.

Studio Ford is a Los Angeles-based textile atelier that celebrates the artful practice of traditional Indian block-printing. Founded in 2017 by Josie Ford, a longtime student of art history and printmaking, the studio’s evergreen frame of reference is one of botanical and geometric observation. Their process is slow, studied, and sincere with timeless works that are heartfelt and handmade. First designed in California, textiles are then produced in close collaboration with local craftspeople in Jaipur, India.
