Textiles & Pillows
Many of the great 20th century architects and designers have dabbled in textile
design, working through their ideas on colour, shape and material. New York textile
company Maharam has reissued some of the most important designs as high-end
furnishing fabrics using true-to-the original colours and weaving techniques.
“Textiles
of the 20th Century” sofa and seat cushions ideally complement the furniture of
Charles & Ray Eames,
George Nelson and Verner Panton, as well as adding an interesting
touch to contemporary of classical interiors.
In collaboration with the Maharam Design Studio, Hella Jongerius in 2002 created a series
of woven fabrics called "Repeat", which take historic patterns from company archives
and translate them into the modern day and age. With just a hint of irony Jongerius
makes changes to the historic templates in the form of new colours and combinations.
