Introducing New Wallpaper & Textiles Collection, 'Kappar' by British Designer Abigail Borg

28/11/23

British Textile Designer Abigail Borg Launches New Salt Pan Collection: A Range of Fabric and Cushions Inspired by the Salt Pans of Malta.

After designing floral patterns for more than a decade, Abigail felt a creative pull to develop a collection that explored a more versatile and useable subject matter. Her father is Maltese, and on her most recent trip there visiting family she spent time at the salt pans with her children, finding a new found admiration for them.

The range is available in four complimentary colourways inspired by the natural tones of the Maltese Islands: Azure Ecru, Honey Ecru, Sunset Ecru and Leaf.

“The grid-like patterns of salt pans, or 'Salinas' have dotted the coastlines of the Maltese islands for thousands of years. Still in use today, sea water passes into pools where it is warmed by the sun and slowly starts to evaporate. Salt begins to crystallise, and after about a week it is ready to harvest by hand.

Inspired by the chequerboard patterns created by this centuries old technique, 'Salt Pan' is my interpretation of the organic shapes and shimmering pools often seen when flying over the islands of Malta and Gozo.” Abigail Borg, Designer, abigailborg.com
