Worlds in Motion
at thús
Thús Huma is a living composition shaped by many hands. Across the house, distinct practices meet. Furniture, light, textile, object, and art coexist in quiet dialogue, each carrying its own lineage of craft and intent.
The works presented here come from artists, artisans, and studios working across geographies and disciplines. Some pieces are born from long-standing collaborations, others from chance encounters that felt inevitable. Together, they form a layered landscape of material, memory, and contemporary expression.
As one moves through the house, these worlds unfold slowly. Nothing is isolated.
Thús Huma holds space for these conversations, inviting visitors to experience design as something lived, shared, and quietly in motion.

A Loom Remembered
Created in collaboration between Thús Huma and Nadine Weatherstone, this wallcovering draws from the centuries-old tradition of Jamdani weaving, reinterpreted through a contemporary, tactile lens.
Rooted in the heritage of Bangladesh, the original woven motifs are not replicated but translated. Jamdani’s rhythm, density, and quiet intricacy are preserved as memory, then reformed through Nadine’s hand-applied gesso and surface techniques, guided by Huma’s curatorial eye.
While still warm, gesso is worked into the fabric, settling into its weave and texture before being cured and layered with pigment and subtle gilt. What emerges is a surface that carries time within it—textile and plaster, softness and structure, light and shadow held together.
Each wallcovering is developed as a shared exploration of craft and context, and can be customised in tone and finish. The result is not ornament, but atmosphere—surfaces that feel lived with, resonant, and deeply present within the architecture of the home
JAMDANI
Jamdani is a vividly patterned, sheer cotton fabric, traditionally woven on a handloom by craftspeople and apprentices around Dhaka. Jamdani textiles combine intricacy of design with muted or vibrant colours, and the finished garments are highly breathable. It is a time-consuming and labour-intensive form of weaving because of the richness of its motifs, which are created directly on the loom using the discontinuous weft technique.
