SUMMER 2025

Painterly landscapes to greet the summer haze.

Freedom Tree’s soft painterly brushstrokes in full color evoke memories of distant landscapes. Drenched in soft palettes reminiscent of being in the shade of a gentler sun.

Painterly Strokes with an artistic ease.

Freedom Tree designers love being hands on, drawing and painting, with traditional media. In a few ink or water-strokes they illustrate their thoughts which are to become objects or textile surfaces for you to enjoy.

Bringing the collection together, and into summer, is a haze of water-color brush strokes. Finding new life in pastel colors, painterly strokes render impressionistic botanicals, blurry landscapes, and artistic moments. Actively spotting pattern in the process of textiles design brings an original viewpoint to the collection. Bringing out the relevant visuals for the season which capture the heart of the 15 years.

One of the prints we created is inspired from the lowly rag that catches all the dabs and dribbles from the artist’s wet brushes. This is transformed into artwork. There is an immediacy and spontaneity in the painterly style that makes a lasting impression.

Kagal, Land of Sugarcane Fields

WOur Hero print Kagal makes a re-appearance, in a sunlit yellow palette. The hazy abstraction of sugar cane fields behind the coastlands of rural Maharashtra stands as one of our all-time favorite prints.

From our Landscapes of India series, sugarcane fields stretch endlessly along the flatlands. The furrowed black soil, the vivid green cross-stalks topped by waving wands of silvered-lavender fronds.

It is not just the rural idyll; it is the agricultural prosperity, the empowered farmer, the busy roadways leading from sugar mills to the coast and cities. Steadfast ancestral connectedness , turning into a promise of a golden future. For all who are in a way fed by the inherent richness of our land.

Both Kagal and our Roschach print were designed during the covid years and are re-interpreted in new ways for 2025. As covid unfolded, we opened our homes to family and friends and started our lives afresh with uplifting optimism. Looking to the present, we begin to mirror nature for inspiration and find a way of living that’s more surreal, playful, and friendly to the earth. A surge of creativity is unleashed as the artist at home lets his or her impulses run free.

Here’s hoping to move thoughtfully towards the times where the skies are clearer, hope is tangible, and homes are bursting with imagination and joy!

EXPLORE SUMMER HOME COLLECTION 2025 

WOur summer home collection celebrates our design legacy with new fabrics, furnishings, tableware, and decoration. Bright colors and original prints, wrapped in story, invite you to bring a unique expression of yourself to your home this season.  

Printed Furnishings >>

Our designers are particularly excited about the range of furnishings – cushions and throws that derive from the graphic prints, bold stripers, and artistic abstractions in this collection. Our cushions are narrative windows of storytelling that allow you to paint your home with color. We also love the possibilities for layering with luxurious textured tweed cushions, throws, and upholstery. It conjures associations of mossy meadows and the fields of a summer outdoors.  

Ceramic Tableware >>

We thread a new Circle of Joyee with our Tutti Frutti breakfast and entertaining series. A Tutti Frooti mix of colors and forms, geometric shapes scattered within joyeefully colored ceramics, in perfect balance. A reminder of retro tiles in their mellow colors, the ceramic and woodware breakfast dishes are nostalgic, yet modern in their diversity. Curvaceous borders run in dots & dashes around the dinnerware. Paired with bright new table linens, these ceramics make a great gift for your home.

Handcrafted Decor >>

We’ve only just begun with graphic fragment of our ‘Face to Face’ series. We love how the concept has travelled to different surfaces including accent mirrors and decorative art objects. This is where our traditions of hand-working really shine as we hero each brushstroke by the artisan and their mastery of the material whether it be wood, ceramic, or textile. Keep an eye out for more.
