"German designer Jurgen Lehl celebrates the effotless variety of nature in his splendid handwoven fabrics. Committed to breaking the tedium and uniformity of machine-produced textiles, Lehl creates sumptuous fabrics that are alive with the understanding of texture made by the human hand. The photographs by Yuriko Takagi are as breathtaking as the designs themselves. Full page color and black and white plates capture at once the depth and simplicity of Lehl's designs."
