Behind the Design: Accents Collection

2

Accents, also known as diacritics, have the power to change the meaning of words. They have been used for centuries, to emphasize letters and provide phonetic direction. Whether neat dots, perfect curls or tide-like strokes, these small glyphs are not only central to language, but they are beautifully decorative elements in their own right.

Our exciting Accents collection puts these Arabic accents in the limelight. Rather than seeing them purely as reading aids, they have been rearranged and curated into flowing, complex patterns, which weave about one another.

Bold colors like coral and teal accentuate each stroke and are further enhanced by rich metallic splashes – a nod to the region’s cultural and artistic wealth. The modern gold touches offer a unique take on the ancient art of calligraphy – highlighting its timeless value, both as a function of language and an art form in itself.
