Exclusive textile designs by New York–based visual artist Marcie Bronkar and San Francisco–based textile designer Seema Krish are the latest additions to Hunter Douglas’ Design Studio line of side panels, drapery, roller shades, and roman shades. Inventive patterns and textural details—rendered in styles ranging from intricate embroideries to semi-opaque fabrics—bring new infusions of global dimension and historical depth to the brand’s sophisticated line of window treatments.

Influenced by her upbringing in Mumbai, Seema Krish’s work focuses on handcraft and holds a contemporary lens to the vibrant motifs and techniques of traditional Indian textiles. The designer looked to nature and drew on the aesthetics of block printing and embroidery, in particular, to create her new patterns for Hunter Douglas.
