The young Maison E.BOEHM is excited to unveil “La Récolte Sauvage” (The Wild Harvest), a new collection based on nettle fibre. This launch calls for a new economic, social, and environmental balance. “This harvest invites us to produce with greater respect for Nature, its resources, and humanity,” says Eric Boehm.
The collection embodies humanity, authenticity, and activism, collaborating with Nepalese communities that master ancient, artisanal techniques. Inspired by the 18th-century master dyer Paul Gout, the Maison has refined over forty plant dyes for a unique touch.
Eric Boehm’s journey, spanning over 30 years in textile engineering, led to the discovery of nettle as a sustainable alternative during the 2008 global cotton crisis. This revelation became the foundation for E.BOEHM – Art Textile.
“La Récolte Sauvage” features ‘velvet mosaics’ in a portable case, akin to Japanese Bento boxes. The designs inspire a connection with the nurturing Earth, offering tailor-made, sustainable interiors like rugs and fabrics. Nettle’s versatility extends from fashion to luxury packaging, showcasing its potential.
E.BOEHM uses certified, fair-trade materials suitable for both residential and public spaces, ensuring high standards of luxury and sustainability.
Embrace Nature’s rich, unique resources with “La Récolte Sauvage”.
