Yellow to Blue

The Role of Diverse Plant Species as Primary Sources of Bio Pigments.

Details — © Studio Ariane Shirvani

This Project is the result of an ongoing research, aimed to create a variety of shades extracted from different plant species. These pigments are derived from cultivation or green waste, providing an eco-friendly alternative to the synthetic colourants commonly used in the textile industry.

Indigofera tinctoria - Prangos ferulacea

Yellow to Blue is a hand knotted wool rug dyed with two types of bio pigments, Indigofera tinctoria for the blue tone and Prangos ferulacea for the vibrant yellow hue. The green colours emerge from the combination of these pigments. The uneven colouration results in uniquely unpredictable patterns with seemingly random effects that will subtly evolve over time.
