“Much like the tapestry artists of the Renaissance, Liz Collins has pushed fabric into the realm of contemporary art, on par with painting and sculpture,” says curator and critic Glenn Adamson of the Brooklyn–based, RISD-trained textile designer who first made a name for herself in knitwear. Made with his New York studio team (which he likens to a “teaching hospital or cult that worships plywood and an ethos of transparency”), Sachs’s pieces made out of plywood, resin, steel, and ceramic, feel purposely handmade and utilitarian, like the Crate Table, which is made with orange and white ConEd barriers. Jed and Jay were habitués of Andy Warhol’s Factory, but JJA textiles are decidedly elegant and restrained, with nary a soup can or Marilyn Monroe face to be found.Īrt world star Tom Sachs, famous for his NASA, Hello Kitty, and Chanel guillotine bricolage sculptures, has always designed furniture, but now, in a Warholian manner, he is bringing his DIY pieces to the masses. Jed Johnson Home, the luxury textile collection, is an outgrowth of the interior design firm Jed Johnson Associates and was started by Jed Johnson (who tragically died in the TWA flight 800 crash in 1996) and carried on by his twin brother, Jay, in 2006 to honor his legacy.

“But it can also serve as a backdrop in a room, like art does.” Next up for Maison C: their dreamlike patterns will appear on textiles this fall. “I use wallpaper for color and pattern in a room,” de Rege explains. Ultimately we hope the paper feels like it’s always been there, as if painted onto the walls.” Theodoli-Braschi’s drawings are all meticulously drawn by hand riffing on myths, nature, fantasy and folklore such as a coven of naked women frolicking and a girl named “Parachute Pip” floating amongst the stars. “We wanted something mural-like with depth. “Neither of us wanted to put out another wallpaper line with the expected motifs,” says interior designer Chiara de Rege of Maison C, the decorative wallpaper firm she founded with fine artist Costanza Theodoli-Braschi. In addition, the Brooklyn-based designer has a line of hard-edged and beautifully crafted modern pendants, sconces, and floor lamps (to say nothing of furniture) sold through Roll & Hill, the Mercer Street showroom that, much like Flos and Artemide in Europe, collaborates with exciting local talents.Ĭhiara de Rege & Costanza Theodoli-Braschi

His heady mix of intellectualism and sexy, retro-inflected aesthetic that owes as much to Cardin and Halston as it does to the Wiener Werkstätte, was on full display at the May unveiling of his latest 1960s-inspired collection, “Act Four.” We eagerly await the next installment.Ī graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and later the real-world school of Lindsey Adelman in New York, where he worked as design director of the Lafayette Street studio, Vermont-raised freelance designer Zahn is a gun for hire for companies such as Artecnica and Teroforma. Though he split at the end of 2020 with his business and romantic partner Jeremy Anderson, who is now turning his hand to sculpture and ceramics, Apparatus co-founder and creative director Hendifar remains a name to watch and drop in chic lighting and design circles. Photo by Guillaume Ziccarelli, courtesy of Daniel Arsham His editioned lighting fixtures, fractured tables, and “rubble” couches, available through Friedman Benda, reflect Arsham’s fascination with archaeology, poetically combining a sense of the past, present, and future. Arsham has collaborated on a suite of high-profile projects with music producer Pharrell Williams and designer Hedi Slimane, as well as luxury brands Dior, Porsche, and Rimowa. After designing sets for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, he went on to launch the pioneering New York–based architecture firm, Snarkitecture, in 2007 with partner Alex Mustonen. With a design practice that exists at the intersection of art, architecture, and performance, Daniel Arsham’s work reflects his varied life experience since graduating from Cooper Union nearly two decades ago.
