Silk, with its shimmer and subtle texture, has always been synonymous with luxury. But it's more than just high style. Silk wallcoverings bring a sense of history, culture, and sophistication that no other material can match.
The latest silk wallcoverings from S. Harris perfectly capture that intersection of ancient roots and modern design. The unique blend of weft yarns brings rich texture and visual depth. Every piece is one-of-a-kind because of the natural variations in the silk itself. The crushed silk designs create an optical illusion–what looks textured is actually smooth to the touch. The interplay of matte and shine from the crushed and folded silk adds another layer of interest. Plus, silk looks different from every angle, an invitation to admire it from all sides.
Silk is a 100-percent renewable resource, and our mill uses eco-friendly production processes. The stain-repellent finishes mean no worries about spills, and the lack of harsh chemicals makes them a healthier choice for clients from residential to hospitality. A quick vacuum is all it takes to keep them looking fresh.
Silk has played a starring role in interior design across geographies and time. From adorning the walls of Chinese palaces to serving as functional room dividers called “fusuma” in Japanese homes, silk wallcoverings meant luxury, refinement, and culture. Even today, the artisanal production of silk wallcoverings preserves a tradition of craftsmanship and artistry, offering a unique blend of historical significance and contemporary design. Cities like Mysore and Bengaluru in India are renowned for their silk industries, with the latter even housing a dedicated "Silk City."
Silk remains a hallmark of exclusivity. But that exclusivity is part of their appeal. Designers and homeowners love silk for its warmth, texture, durability, and that signature sheen. Contemporary silk wallcoverings are available in a myriad of colors, patterns, and textures, fitting seamlessly into both traditional and modern interiors.
Silk's story is far from over. As designers and architects continue to push boundaries, we're excited to see how this incredible material will be used in the future. With the timeless appeal of silk, its potential to inspire and amaze is limitless.
