Gill & Franks (G&F) is thrilled to unveil two innovative handcrafted techniques from Pintark’s Surface Artwerk Collection —Perla and Floret—at the Surface Design Show 2025. These new techniques exemplify the fusion of artistry, sustainability, and innovation, offering architects, interior designers, and developers unique, eco-conscious design solutions.

Crafted with Purpose: A Collaboration with Toucan Krafte

At the heart of Perla and Floret is Pintark’s collaboration with Toucan Krafte, a New Delhi-based textile crafting enterprise. Toucan Krafte empowers women through sustainable employment, utilizing a cluster production model that supports traditional craftsmanship while offering urban women the opportunity to balance work and family life. This collaboration ensures that each piece of Perla and Floret is not only a work of art but also a testament to social and environmental responsibility.

By adopting the ethos of “Recycle, Empower, Harmonize,” Toucan Krafte and Pintark create surfaces that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. These designs reflect the potential of ethical luxury, uniting traditional crafts with modern aesthetics.

PERLA TECHNIQUE

A masterpiece of precision and creativity, Perla is inspired by the Pointillism technique. Vintage fabric-clad beads are hand-stitched into intricate compositions, resulting in textured, dynamic wall surfaces.

FLORET TECHNIQUE

Floret brings a striking 3D effect to walls with layers of fabric that are pinched and stitched to create loose,

ruffled floral designs. The depth and texture of Floret compositions make them ideal for bold, artistic interiors.

Sustainability Meets Luxury

Perla and Floret exemplify Pintark’s commitment to sustainable design. Crafted using recycled materials and low-energy production methods, these wall surfaces are lightweight, transport-friendly, and easy to install. This adaptability makes them ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

“Sustainability and craftsmanship are at the core of Pintark’s philosophy,” says Judy Franks, Co-Founder of Gill & Franks. “With Perla and Floret, we’re not only creating exquisite interiors but also empowering communities and promoting eco-conscious values.”
