. MONTGOLFIER
EXPLORE AFRICAN LANDS Come with me to the never-ending horizons of Africa. Join me in a hot air balloon, invented by the Montgolfier brothers in the 18th Century. How much more beautiful and inspiring can life get than to fly in the sky like a bird, no noise, no interruptions, just clear skies and horizons. This is exactly how the inspiration for the Montgolfier Collection came to me, being on top of the world, looking down and translating the sheer beauty of the African continent into six textile flooring designs. Imagine the orange, red and brown colors of the dry savannah. Picture the roaring blue salt lake with white foam tops; the black shades from burnt forests and the metallic nuances from a glittering gold mine. Designed in multi layers with a multi level loop texture creating an abstract interpretation of the African landscapes, enhanced by metallic yarns creating a unique light reflection and finished to detail with custom colors matched to samples from nature curated on my African trip. Since the Montgolfier is all about nature and applauding the beauty of this world, no sacrifice was made. It was only normal that the regenerated ECONYL yarns were selected to create this tribute to a continent that is at the core of our human history. Solitude. Serenity. Inspiration. With love, Adrien Alexander Creative Director 4 5
