Key features woven throughout the line include the cyclical nature and abstract nature of healing, the centering of (and tending to) our needs to pour out into others, organic flow in the healing process, and the importance of repetition and ritual as key features of mental health maintenance.
Original artworks were created by The Oasis Alliance and then were passed off to Western Sensibility’s Surface Designer Chelsea von Hassel, who turned the originals into repeating patterns to be printed onto upholstery-grade textiles. The colorways of each pattern invoke a sense of purpose, boldness, creativity, majesty, intention and mystery–all things embedded deeply in the corridors of the heart.
We hope this collection brings as much joy to you in your home as it brought to us to create.The OA team hopes that this collection brings as much joy to you in your home as it brought to them to create.

ABOUT THE OASIS ALLIANCE
The Oasis Alliance (OA) brightens the lives of trauma survivors by co-designing personalized spaces that encourage and support recovery, growth, and mental well-being. Most people believe that interior design is a luxury. We believe that interior design is an underutilized tool to empower, encourage and resurrect people at their lowest point. When we live in personalized spaces that affirm our humanity, we feel important—a major first step in moving past trauma and loss.

ABOUT WESTERN SENSIBILITY
Western Sensibility was founded by a third-generation textile printer and luxury interior designer to operate at the cross-section of art and science.
Passionate about taking the textile printing process from conventional to digital, Kathryn Sanders and Leana Becker have a new vision for sustainably designing, printing, and manufacturing textiles for residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.
Born out of an incessant desire to innovate and experiment, Kathryn and Leana saw the opportunity to unlock the creative potential in the home by working with artists and designers to illustrate new ways for print, pattern, color, and texture to thrive. After years of experience working in textile development, interior design, and digital printing, it became incredibly clear that artists craved a collaborative studio that supports their vision and helps guide process, design, feel, and function.
Utilizing their backgrounds — Kathryn’s in textile development and Leana’s in luxury interior design — the duo meticulously engineered the Western Sensibility textile collection to ensure print clarity, longevity, and unparalleled hand-feel with state-of-the-art, life-friendly technology. With a richer base palette, they challenged the way traditional patterns were conceived — pushing the limits on the size of repeats, layering various textures, and exploring an almost infinite array of colors.
Kathryn and Leana built Western Sensibility to champion digital textile printing technology, which can help the textile industry decrease its carbon footprint while also increasing its creative capacity. Western Sensibility is a new kind of printing studio that blends art, sustainability, and textile technology.
