Kangan Arora is a textile designer specialising in print and pattern. Born in India and now based in London, her work explores bold colour, geometry, abstraction and playful pattern application; with a specific interest in a variety of colour languages and processes.

With a signature style that takes assimilated shapes and unexpected juxtapositions, she brings them to life through screen-printing, weave, digital applications, large scale installations and a range of other mediums.

She has collaborated on projects with the likes of TATE, IKEA, Heal's and Floor_Story across a range of products including soft furnishings, rugs, acoustic panels and more.

Kangan trained at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design where she is currently a Senior Lecturer in Textile Design.
