A commentary on the ephemeral nature of human life and experiences, the six-pattern In Your Skin collection by New York–based product and interior designer Erin Ruby for HBF Textiles has a lovely tactile, handcrafted quality with the durability required for high-traffic contract spaces.

Each of the rich textiles boasts its own personality — from a tattoo-inspired toile and a casual stripe that evokes well-earned laugh lines to a comforting nubbly wool — and is offered in 55 colourways.
