This collection of brightly colored fabrics features modern embroideries, prints, velvets, boucles and textures - offering versatility and a beautiful design aesthetic. Inspired by the intricate nature of Tiffany’s Favrile glass, this collection highlights its most distinctive characteristic - the brilliant and rich colors that shine similar to a butterfly’s wings. Colors in this offering stand out with pops of chartreuse, fuchsia and teal, intended to mirror the shimmering hues found in stained- glass.

“This collection began five years ago with a visit to The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass where I was inspired by the depth, quantity and dimension of color before my very eyes! With this glass as my Northstar and using watercolors and markers, I created a series of designs and patterns that would eventually become The Gem Collection. I am grateful that Kravet could see my vision and supported bringing it to life!”- Nadia

Nadia’s design story begins nearly two centuries ago when her great-great-grandfather Louis Comfort Tiffany founded the iconic stained-glass studio in New York City, Tiffany Studios. Son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, founder of quintessential American jewelry brand Tiffany and Co., Louis began working with glass around 1880, creating inventive sheets of multi-colored glass for his stained-glass windows and later making artistic glass vases and lamps, which are now renowned collector’s items.

“I love that I can take my great-great grandfather’s Tiffany glass from 140+ years ago and have it be the foundation for a fabric collection that can be used today for furniture, draperies, pillows, headboards and more,”- Nadia
