Mavromac Presents Gastón y Daniela West 2026: A Textile Collection Inspired by Heritage, Landscape and Craft

Textiles have long served as storytellers within the interior, carrying traces of culture, craft, and place through colour, pattern, and texture. For 2026, Gastón y Daniela explores this narrative power through West, a richly layered collection inspired by the landscapes, traditions, and cultural exchanges that shaped the American West during the Gold Rush era.

Rather than approaching history through literal reproduction, the collection reinterprets its influences through a contemporary decorative language. Indigenous artistry, settler traditions, and enduring Hispanic references are distilled into sophisticated textiles that feel both authentic and distinctly modern. Geometric motifs, symbolic patterns, and utilitarian weaves are elevated through refined colour palettes, tactile surfaces, and intricate craftsmanship.

Materiality sits at the heart of the collection. Linen blends, cotton compositions, jacquards, and richly textured weaves create depth and warmth throughout the range, allowing each fabric to engage both visually and physically within a space. Shades of terracotta, muted sage, mineral tones, and dusty desert hues draw directly from the landscapes that inspired the collection, evoking expansive horizons, weathered earth, and sunlit terrain.

Designs such as Wyatt Verde, Wakan Burdeos, Saguaro Teja, and Otomi Mauve demonstrate the breadth of the collection. This moves effortlessly between decorative statement fabrics and quieter foundational textiles. Embroidery, layered textures, and carefully balanced repeat patterns contribute to a sense of richness without overwhelming the overall composition.

Founded in 1876, Gastón y Daniela has built its reputation on bridging heritage and innovation, and West continues this tradition. Throughout the collection, historical references are transformed into textiles suited to contemporary interiors, where warmth, texture, and individuality are increasingly valued.

Curated yet tranquil

Styled across upholstery, drapery, and decorative accessories, the collection creates interiors that feel relaxed yet deeply curated. The emphasis is not on perfection, but on character; spaces layered with material stories, artisanal influences, and a sense of lived authenticity.
