Rosemary Hallgarten’s Tramuntana indoor/outdoor collection (Fall 2025) launches this week. “Tramuntana” is Catalan for “the north wind”, a cold, dry current that sweeps across Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, and the name of the dramatic mountain range that defines Mallorca’s coast.
-
Hallgarten drew inspiration from rugged rock formations, terraced olive groves, and timeless Mediterranean architecture. Crafted from solution-dyed acrylics, the fabrics and rugs are built to withstand outdoor elements while offering a soft, tactile feel ideal for indoor use. With a palette of earthy terracotta, sun-washed travertine tones, and rich browns, the collection embodies a deep connection to place, grounded, organic, and effortlessly elegant.

"If there's one thing I've learned over the last two decades of publishing Sophisticated Living St.Louis, it's this: creativity in St. Louis never sits still. It doesn't wait for permission. It doesn't follow trends—it sets them. From hidden studios in Fox Park to buzzing collaborative spaces in Midtown, our creative community continues to reimagine what's possible—not only in the arts, but in architecture, design, fashion, food, media, and beyond."
