Welcome to the ornamental world of D’ASCOLI, where we celebrate the decorative arts of diverse cultures in our original designs, using ancient and modern techniques. We employ sustainable, low carbon forms of production such as hand-weaving, digital printing, and hand embroidery to create socially responsible products that enrich the lives of makers and users with an authentic provenance, and the integrity that results from small-batch production. The Carpathian mountains that dominate eastern Europe, arching across eight countries: Austria, Poland, Hungary, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Serbia, are the inspiration for our new collection These regions, while distinct, share many common traditions and handicrafts that reflect their unique position between the classical European traditions and more exotic influences from the East. Embroidered floral garlands and paisleys colored in deep, saturated hues are offered in both silk and hand-spun cottons in an array of our signature, easygoing, bohemian silhouettes.
Freedom of spirit, mind, and body was the central philosophy of the 1960's Counter Culture, and we take the essence of this psychedelic style and distill it into a range of table linens; all printed with signature D'ASCOLI bohemian prints suitable for a wide range of occasions. Linen tablecloths and placemats accented with hand embroidery compliment two choices of napkins made from hand spun, hand woven cotton; all made in-house at the Talianna Studio.

This collection is perfect for creating the high/low elegance that Long Island is know for, a place near the city but filled with the natural beauty of the sea and adjoining wetlands.
The Laurel Canyon collection of table linens was created as an homage to the relaxed bohemian style of southern California in the 1960’s and ‘70’s, and to the canyon in L.A. that was home to some of the era’s most iconic musicians such as Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Floral designs were abundant at that time, and many were characterized by graphics with flat colors and outlines, part of the Hippie-psychedelic movement.
