Katab - Applique Work from Rajasthan

Shape with contrast. Cloth with conviction 

Cloth shaped by cut, layer, and hand.

Katab gathers appliqué art from Rajasthan, where fabric is placed, layered, and stitched into form. These works bring movement, pattern, and hand-cut presence into the home through cloth.

They belong in homes that value textile as more than surface. Each piece carries the quiet labor of joining fragments into something whole.

Tradition: Textile
What it carries: Layering, stitch, cloth, pattern, handwork, and memory.
For the home: Wall, seating area, textile corner, entryway, or quiet interior spaces.

How Katab Lives

Katab lives through the meeting of cut cloth and stitched placement. It brings textile into the home as structure, not softness alone.

Begin with Katab

Begin with Katab when you want a wall or room to hold the warmth of handworked cloth without becoming loud.

For a Collected Heritage Home

Katab belongs in a collected heritage home because it shows how fragments, when held by hand and intention, can become continuity. It is cloth shaped not only for display, but for return, use, and daily life.
