Print
A circular linen and cork textile features concentric rings coiled tightly around a small central opening. Cork strips wrapped in dyed yarn transition from dark blue and reddish-purple at the core to bright blue, turquoise, and vibrant green at the edge. A wide off-white band wraps the outer rim, ending with a protruding strip at the bottom right. The corded, textured surface creates a rhythmic, target-like pattern of cooling, overlapping shades.
