Breaking with luxury standards, the Maison's new collection
adopts an ethical approach and reasserts its commitment to social
and ecological issues.

new collection, "La Récolte Sauvage" (The Wild Harvest), based
on nettle fibre, the young Maison E.BOEHM is calling for a
new economic, social and environmental balance. "This harvest is
an invitation to produce differently, with greater respect for

E.BOEHM's "La Récolte Sauvage" is human, authentic, and
activist. It works with communities in Nepal that have mastered ancestral, artisanal,
and disruptive know-how based on nettle fibre. The Maison of
E.BOEHM is based on the refined creation and development of
around forty plant dyes inspired by Paul Gout, an
eighteenth-century master dyer and the former Manufacture Royale de
Bize Director.
Signs of a change of direction
"Nettle became my transformation project after more than 30
years as a textile engineer and more than 16 years of research and
meetings", confirms Eric Boehm. The
artist, then industrial director for a textile company, found
nettle to be an excellent substitute material in the middle of the
global cotton crisis in 2008. Reading Paul-Auguste Favier's book "Les Orties
Textiles", published in 1880, triggered his interest. The artist
then recognised his surname in "Boehmeria", the name of a variety
of nettle created by the botanist Boehmer. These revelations became
the anchor for E.BOEHM - Art Textile.
Nurturing and sustainable Mother Earth
"La Récolte Sauvage" comprises 'velvet mosaics' subtly laid out
in a portable case, like the Japanese Bento stackable lunch boxes.
The designers at Maison E.BOEHM are inviting aesthetic explorers to
connect with the abundant and nurturing Earth and to draw
inspiration from these techniques and textures in their
tailor-made, responsible, and sustainable interior design (rugs,
coverings, fabrics). They are a tribute to careful, handmade
work. With its inherent superiority and adaptability, nettle
holds immense potential for various luxury sectors. From
fashion to accessories and even packaging, its versatility
knows no bounds.
Certified and fair-trade materials
Maison E.BOEHM uses materials suitable for the residential and
public sectors, including carpets, wall art, and interior
architecture. They have high levels of certification in terms of
use class, luxury, and fire resistance and are fair-trade certified
(Label Step certified partner).
As the seasons go by, let's borrow from Nature what she offers
us: rich, surprising, and unique resources.
