Creating the company in 1981, Olivier Nourry chose the name Metaphores to translate his willingness to play with colors, yarns, materials and harmonies as a writer plays with words to create… Metaphores. Since 1814, in the small village of Challes located 200 kilometers from Paris, the hand-weaving tradition of crin continues, creating solids and jacquards on looms nearly a century old. The artistry of this weaving is the product of women weavers whose agile hands sort the strands and guide the loom to a daily output of no more than 4 yards a day. FOB: New York, NY.
