This project celebrates the cultural spirit of California through the architectural legacy of the Gamble House — a Pasadena landmark that stands as a masterpiece of the American Arts and Crafts movement. My goal was to reinterpret this icon not just as architecture, but as a symbol of California’s harmony between nature, craft, and design. By translating its handcrafted woodwork, geometric rhythm, and serene atmosphere into a silk scarf, the project turns the essence of Pasadena into something tactile and wearable — a modern tribute to timeless craftsmanship.
