Artis Collection

BY PELICAN HOUSE

The Pelican House debut collection, Artis, is a tribute to the timeless beauty of craftsmanship from around the world and across centuries, celebrating both the art and the artisans who bring it to life. Each piece in the collection draws inspiration from extraordinary antique textiles, carefully studied and reimagined for modern living. From a delicate 1910 Austrian textile fragment, with its intricate patterns and subtle color palette, to an early 20th-century Amish quilt, known for its simplicity and meticulous handwork, the collection bridges history and contemporary design.

Every handwoven rug in Artis is a conversation between cultures and eras, where the textures, colors, and stories of the past are transformed into pieces that feel at once timeless and fresh.

By honoring the original makers and the traditions they carried, the collection invites viewers and collectors alike to appreciate the depth, skill, and creativity embedded in every stitch. Artis is more than a collection—it is a journey through global heritage, a celebration of human artistry, and a reimagining of historical textiles as living works of art for today’s spaces.
