The artistic partnership between Parvaze, a master of Kashmiri Jalakdozi embroidery, and Peter Mayer, a New York-based designer with a background in film, interior architecture, and textile arts, has given rise to a body of work that fuses centuries-old craftsmanship with bold, modern design. Working under the name Parvaze + Mayer, the duo creates hand-stitched wool-on-cloth artworks that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually striking.
Each piece in the Parvaze + Mayer collection is a tactile record of cross-cultural exchange—where heritage and innovation meet in thread. The work speaks to sustainability, patience, andt he enduring power of handcraft in a mechanized world. These textiles are not only visually stunning, but they tell stories—of land, of labor, of legacy.
