Design Days 2026
Join Us as the Journey Turns Toward Impressionism
Design Days
JUNE 8–10, 2026
1045 W Fulton Street | 8th Floor, Chicago, IL
The Giverny Collection
Inspired by Claude Monet and the Impressionist movement—named for the garden where light became legend—the Giverny Collection honors the poetry of perception.
Capturing atmosphere, movement, and emotion through brushwork and layered color, the collection translates these principles into textiles—where color, tactility, and material depth work together to express light in motion.
Meet the Designer
Geraldine Blanchot Fortier
Raised near Giverny, Geraldine's intuitive way of seeing is rooted in quiet observation of light, color, and nature. These experiences influenced the Giverny Collection, where soft patterns and fluid colors reflect the same impressionistic perspective she developed as a child.
MONDAY–TUESDAY | 9AM – 5PM
Textiles as Art
We are welcoming commissioned textile artist Élodie Blanchard to create a one-of-a-kind Monet-inspired fiber artwork using exclusively Pallas textiles. The result reflects key qualities of impressionism—softness, movement, and light—expressed through material rather than paint.
This collaboration provides an early look at the Giverny Collection, where art, nature, and textile craftsmanship are directly connected.
Experience and Create
TEXTILES AS ART
Join a hands-on experience with Élodie to create a community artwork piece.
Focused on layering material and composition in real time, designers are invited to create a shared textile piece that reflects individual input within a unified design.
Visit to Win
Come visit us for a chance to win a custom Pallas tote and Monet-inspired LEGO® set.
The custom tote bag is made using Nymphea and Aube from our latest launch, the Giverny Collection.
The LEGO® set is inspired by one of Monet's famous paintings, "Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies."
