Mokum Surface Collection
ABSTRACTION* / by Mokum Our Canvas artwork has been enlarged and printed onto an extra wide 100% linen base cloth. The layered watercolour brush strokes are beautifully captured via the digital printing and creates a soft contemporary window treatment. Coloured in 5 considered shades; a warm calico, dusted earthenware, clear sky blue, organic smoke and dramatic rusted basalt.
O’KEEFFE* / by Mokum An interlacing weave structure and stonewash finish create a highly dimensional, shabby and relaxed continuous drapery. The lightly contrasting, subtly toned linen yarns create even more visual depth and surface interest. Coloured in chalky neutrals and earthen tones, OKeeffe offers a twist on contemporary drapery plains.
ADOBE* / by Mokum the colour palette reflects the sun bleached, sand filled desert, with dusted light naturals, agave greens, earthen neutrals, and rust tones. Adobe is enhanced by the addition of linen fibre, producing a natural weathered aesthetic, along with its tumbled finishing, creating a sublimely soft handle for this predominantly synthetic cloth.

ADOBE* / by Mokum is named after the sun-dried mud brick walls of OKeeffes Ghost Ranch home. Adobe is a contemporary plain drapery with an earthy and raw texture in keeping with the natural rustic theme of the collection.
OCEAN * / by Mokum our beloved Mokum Classic, has been renewed and extended with the addition of 6 nuanced neutral shades. Ocean is a soft 100% linen, continuous drapery with an antiqued appearance. The dappled surface is achieved through a watermark like binding pattern, woven in subtle colours, that add a tactile interest to our enticing contemporary plain.

SANTA FE / by Mokum is named after the town near Georgia OKeeffes iconic Ghost Ranch dwelling. Our hero upholstery jacquard, Santa Fe, takes inspiration from the mesas, plains and plateaus of the majestic desert, illustrating these geographical forms, via tactile yarns and natural raw fibres. A heavy carpet like construction, this complex and weighty weave, with its thick boucle yarn sits beautifully alongside boucle plains and has been woven in two naturalistic colours. First is our pure neutral, Bone, where shades of creams subtly shift in tone, defining the soft landscape shapes. The second colourway Dust is directly influenced by the red dust palette of the desert, which mixes with raw linen and cream tones to create a unique patterned upholstery.
TOTTO / by Mokum utilises a leno weave, to create a stable woven structure for the heavy boucle yarn and is woven in single warm cream colourway. Totto builds on our love affair with boucle within a softly touchable and luxurious wide drapery and references Georgia OKeeffes middle name.
“Oh, the sun was hot, and the wind was hard, and you got cold in the winter. I was just crazy about all of it ... The beauty of that wild world.”

"I wish you could see what I see out the window—the earth pink and yellow cliffs to the north—the full pale moon about to go down in an early morning lavender sky . . . pink and purple hills in front and the scrubby fine dull green cedars—and a feeling of much space—It is a very beautiful world."

The Surface collection seeks to express Georgia O’Keeffe’s great love of the natural environment and its ability to be a constant muse to designers and artists. Not only inspiring their work but also creating unlimited joy.
The legendary contemporary artist spent her summers in the latter half of her life painting her surroundings whilst staying in her Adobe brick house near Santa Fe, in New Mexico.
The Mokum studio retreats inland and takes inspiration from the expansive desert landscape and solitary and profoundly artistic life of Georgia O’Keeffe, at her iconic Ghost Ranch home.
