HORSICULTURE

This statement print brings together two things we can rarely resist: gorgeous Western art and a good play on words.

The impetus of this entire collection is rooted way back in the McMullens’ childhood home, where Nana had a piece of trapunto artwork hanging in the living room. It was a classic Western scene quite similar to this, horses in a pasture. That alone might not have made much of an impression, except that being trapunto, it was textured yet framed, and this left one little designer-to-be longing to touch it, so curious what it felt like behind that frame, that the image imprinted on her brain. Decades later, she and her team designed that memory into this timeless, traditional Horsiculture print in a lightweight tencel that maybe isn’t as textured as trapunto, but is quite lovely to the touch.

The name is obviously (or maybe not-so-obviously, according to some naysayers on our team) a horsey play on the word ‘horticulture’. We cracked up when we thought of it, we still think it’s clever, and we’ll die on this hill.
