Zak+Fox Textiles: Inspired by Exotica

February 23, 2012

LA-born, NYC-based Zak Profera has just introduced his first line of textiles, called Zak+Fox, featuring patterns based on antique Japanese textiles, Matahari trade cloth, and Moroccan carpets.

"I was a dreamy child," Profera says. "I was always traveling to imaginary places in my mind; I think that's where these designs originated." The fabrics, which are printed in the US with water-based inks on Libeco linen from Belgium, are available directly from Zak+Fox.

Photographed on location at Temple Court by Zach Hankins; art direction by The Apiary.
