Ara is a vibrant upholstery textile by Margrethe Odgaard, which continues her exploration of innovative mélange expressions. The color concept is inspired by tropical birds, which are celebrated for their vividly colored plumage.Unlike conventional mélanges which are made by blending fibres, Ara is crafted with solid dots of color jacquard woven into a neutral background. The subtly energetic contrast between the sparks of color and the ground gives Ara an eye-catching expression.The dots of color are arranged into three different families. These were finalized after extensive research into the dynamics between the different nuances and the base color of Ara.
