Warp prints are the result of a quite unique weaving technique in which the application of the print is integrated into the weaving process. After loosely weaving the warp threads to keep them from moving around on the printing table and in order to keep them perfectly parallel, the color is applied 'à plat' in screens by hand.

Up to 28 screens can be used, depending on the design. Once the print has been applied to the warp threads they are mounted back on the loom for the final weaving.

This procedure produces a design with a very unique quality. The forms and colors are blurred and seem to melt together.
