Summer of Shaker: Inspired Tablecloths by Block Shop x Hancock Shaker Village
Are you as enamored of the new Block Shop Shaker collection as we are? A collaboration between the sister-run, California-based textile co. and Hancock Shaker Village in Massachusetts, the capsule puts a bright, summer-ready spin on traditional Shaker designs.
It was a tough assignment, but we picked a few favorites. Take a look:
Above: Ordering now: variations on the Shaker “Tree of Life” motif by Shaker artist Hannah Cohoon (1854), modernized with color and Block Shop style. The Tree of Life Tablecloth in Cream is a play on blue, white, and red; it’s available in two sizes, from $190.
Above: According to the Block Shop team: “Subtle Block Shop motifs appear in the dotted details and intricate line work of the fruit and foliage, bringing together two craft traditions separated by centuries but united by a shared belief in beauty and utility.”
Above: The second of the three Tree of Life colorways: the Tree of Life Tablecloth in Cobalt, also available in two sizes, also from $190.
Above: A summery table (shown with napkins from the collection).
Above: And the bright Tree of Life Tablecloth in Chartreuse. All of the tablecloths in the collection are made from linen and cotton and block printed by hand by fifth-generation master printers in Jaipur.
