Tablecloths

Elemaria Design tablecloths are one-off original artwork pieces that Elemaria has hand painted using silkscreen paint onto linen fabric. Each piece is Brazilian-inspired and New Zealand made, and every tablecloth is personally stamped by Elemaria.

Made with 100% Belgian linen fabric, this is not something that you use every day. Treasure and look after this unique linen art tablecloth - perfect for a special occasion or a fine dining experience.
Sizes may vary slightly.

Broken Bones Series

The Broken Bones series unearths a quiet majestic beauty in its bare minimalism and strong, directional lines of silkscreen paint on linen. Bold brushstrokes border the fabric’s edge in browns and blacks, forming mazes.

This range of tablecloths has an unhemmed or raw edge. It has been designed to fray so threads will come loose. The edges are deliberately left unhemmed to give a natural look. Care must be taken during washing - gently hand wash in cold water. Trim the threads as they come loose.

Cerca Series

The Cerca series glows in bright colours such as amber, green and purple, fuller in application and courageous in its simplistic display. The versatile designs of the fabrics means they may be used for fashion constructs as well as more traditional displays.

Cushions

The artistic quality of Elemaria Design art cushions adds boldness to any room. Just one or two strong designs like these scattered amongst other plainer cushions give large upholstered pieces a lift. These cushions are made with a range of natural fabrics such as linen, cotton and bamboo and contain a feather pearl inner. Each cushion has a story to tell ... here are Elemaria's thoughts and inspirations behind the collection.

Passion series - expresses the duality of good and evil – at the same time you are taken with how something can at once be both so beautiful yet diaboloic and painful. Passion can drive you crazy and remove you from a balanced state, and moves you with its strong energy.

Buzios series - there is a strong spiritual meaning to this series, which, to me, represents a letting go of everything. During time that I spent there I came out of a spell of post-natal depression. This had taken me close to what I felt was a near death experience. I know this is a subject Kiwis are not comfortable talking about, but in Brazil we discuss it openly. All of a sudden I was right back into life.

Nude series - this piece, to me, evokes a concept of Jacques Lacan – you get it but you don't, because the moment you do – it's gone. This is a landscape with sensual feeling – you see the nude, you see the landscape ...

Stream series - a stream is present, one which turns into a stream of blood, and the strength of the life force is almost like an umbilical cord to the landscape.
