Fabrics

Time Teller, is based on fabrics found in the tents of desert travellers, with a touch of modern flair. Kemp explains “Time Teller is deeply romantic to me, and I am looking forward to wrapping it around walls to give an embracing effect. The name comes from a timelessness and forgetfulness of time itself.”

Triangulated Intaglios VI’ was part of Anni’s later period of works. The design was created in the 1970s and had a geometric purity that only Albers could have achieved. Emulating the same purity in a textile form was a challenge, but by increasing the scale of the design of the woven pattern, we were able to mimic the same crispness of line as found in the original work.

We Sailed Away as a fabric is a nautical odyssey by Donna Wilson. The design beckons you to immerse yourself in a visual voyage, awakening a deep sense of boundless exploration and awe for the natural wonders inspired by Fogo Island’s coastal landscapes.

‘With Verticals’ was a cotton and linen wall hanging produced by Albers in 1946. The skill required to create the broken vertical lines within the weave is hard to fathom. It was essential to match the same scale of the vertical lines when developing the design in a new iteration. In contrast to the original work, the new design is produced in natural tones.

Zig Zag showcases a dynamic pattern that intertwines zigzag motifs in a delightful display of rhythmand movement. Kemp’s admiration for the design shines through as she shares, “this textile is tough and bold and strong. I love it! I will use it on walls and on sofas and chairs. It was inspired by an artist I admire, Sean Scully. I love the hand-painted texture Michal has managed to achieve. Zig Zag sounds free-moving and big.”
