We were commissioned by Irthi to explore the challenging and beautiful world of dyeing Khoos. The waxy coating of the palm leaves was both humbling and exciting as we were able to watch and facilitate a symbiotic relationship between organic materials. After many attempts, consultations with Fujairah based artisans, visits to spice souks, we were able to figure out ways to create stains for the khoos that are sustainable, alchemical and completely natural. You can now access our research, recipes and swatchbook through Irthi.
