Ottoman Collection

Project
The project “Ottoman Collection Inspired by the Slovenian Mountains” comprises three ottomans inspired by Slovenia’s mountainous landscape. The textile patterns were developed from original drawings and transferred onto fabric using digital and screen printing. Flock paste was applied to create additional tactile surfaces.
Each ottoman features a custom-made wooden frame, foam padding for comfort and upholstery made from the printed textile.
The project combines contemporary textile design with traditional printing techniques, creating functional pieces of furniture that interpret Slovenia’s natural heritage through an exploration of pattern, texture and material.
