Barbara Barry Unveils Grass-Weave Window Coverings

Based in Los Angeles, Barbara Barry is a renowned interior and product designer, but she’s also a plein-air painter attuned to the nuances of nature. She brings that sensibility to her serene new collection for Hartmann&Forbes. Its four grass-weave window coverings are handwoven to size, up to 180 inches wide; they include delicate Retreat, made of ramie and banana fibers that softly shade a room. Among the four natural wallcoverings is Utopia, an artful pattern of overlapping ovals printed on cork, with a metallic layer that reflects the light. Dots dapple the dreamy Transcendence, a handwoven paper with a subtle ribbed texture. In soft colorways like silver sage and citrine, the elegant 26-SKU collection reflects the Interior Design Hall of Famer’s keen observation of light, hue, and texture.
