Journal

The idea behind the Tesuque (pronounced teh-su-keh) collection began a few years ago over many trips to my spirit place, New Mexico. Each time I would go, I would gather books, art, images and ideas, which turned into sketches, which then turned into loose patterns.

The whole collection is meant to feel imperfect and earthy, just like the raw landscapes and beauty of New Mexico. The ground cloth, linen, for the collection is specifically handwoven by our weavers to give it texture. Then patterns got hand-carved into woodblocks, which then got handprinted onto the handwoven linen.
Enjoy!

Few weeks ago my hubby and I visited Utah for a friend's wedding high up in Alta at Snowpine Lodge. Right after the wedding, we turned the trip into a spontaneous adventure and drove up 6 hours to Yellowstone, without reservations!

Wyoming took our breath away ya'll. On the way back, we drove through the Tetons National Park and even spent a night in posh Jackson.
Don't be surprised if you'll see a KUFRI textile collection in the near future inspired by the Rockies ;)

What makes a space truly well-appointed and memorable?
Answer... when its contents are bespoke.

A beautiful, bespoke space can be achieved by making small magical changes.
For example, purchasing stock furniture chairs but reupholstering them in a custom textile.
