The word “Sasso”, from Studio Surface Service’s blanket, means stone in Italian. It comes from an idea and an image in the shape of a blanket. “I’m interested in a stone’s firmness and its weight; its place in the bed of a river or at the forest’s edge. This says something to me about belonging, about subtleness – which are things I think about when I apply colors. I aim to make them belong; I aim to make them saturated and clear in both their visual weight and final expression” – Mara Tschudi, Studio Surface ServiceSasso Wool Blanket by Studio Surface Service

The "Aster" blanket by Sanem Oezdogan was inspired by the Aster flower and its origin in mythology. According to the story the Goddess Virgo was so upset about the lack of stars in the sky that she started to cry - her tears touched different places on earth and Asters sprouted. The artwork is a minimalistic interpretation of this story.Aster Wool Blanket by Senem Oezdogan

"Echo" blanket also by Oezdogan was inspired by landscapes and architecture. She wanted the blanket to reflect transformation depending on the way it is folded.Echo Wool Blanket by Senem Oezdogan

Stain” by Michele Rondelli is a joyful study about discoloration and distinguishment from the medium it is found upon. With liquids in mind, Rondelli uses the yarn itself in soft colours to intentionally stain the canvas to create an unique artistic effect.Stain Wool Blanket by Michele Rondelli

POP is the keyword that puts together “The Climb” by Celine Cornu, “Love” by Michele Rondelli, “The Flower” and “Decorative” by Jacco Bunt

The Flower” blanket by Jacco Bunt is inspired by the traditional still life paintings to tell a story with everyday objects translated into different mediums, in search for the boundaries within this strict concept of what can be visualized and must be repeated.The Flower Wool Blanket by Jacco Bunt

Decorative” blanket also by Bunt is a minimalistic story of modern day folklore, traditional beliefs, stories of a community passed through the generations by word of mouth. The figurative elements create a narrative on the blanket which the user can emerge itself in.Decorative Wool Blanket by Jacco Bunt

In “Patchwork” Rondelli plays with rhythm and primary shapes. Just like a traditional patchwork quilt made of multiple pieces of fabric sewn together to form a very vibrant blanket.

Artist’s biography:

Celine Cornu is a French textile designer. She completed her Master in textile design and surface materials at the Lille Higher School of Applied Arts and Textile. Passionate about noble and innovative materials, Celine likes to make links between traditional materials and unexpected textures such as silicone, plaster or optic fiber. Her work is inspired by the colors and the line details of Moroccan art. For she has partnered with Berber weavers for whom she created carpet designs with saturated colors and geometric shapes.Celine Cornu
Jacco Bunt is a Dutch visual artist. He studied illustration at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam and is now working between Berlin, Germany and The Netherlands. His work is characterised by the use of minimalistic interpretation of reality, a balanced composition and overwhelming use of color. These elements are the basis in all his work. Heavily influenced by Dutch design he plays with known structures and tries to re-invent himself every time again. Within the construction of the compositions he likes to play with everyday surroundings such as traditional still life or architectural elements. He uses them to create a narrative and a connection between the viewer and the images.Jacco Bunt Artist

Jo Hummel studied at the Royal College of Art in London. Her works are represented by galleries in London, Malmo and New York. She has exhibited extensively, with artworks included in both public and private collections and she has a growing international collector base. Hummel's work is characterized by a painted and paper collaged surface on which she employs spontaneous variations of space, color and form. Although her painting collages are physically engaged and materially driven the context is purposefully anthropological and Hummel’s works are informed by human habits and behavior, with a particular interest in determinism and freewill just as much as formal concerns. The nature of collage is that throughout its creation a work is in constant flux. The artist must negotiate the canvas by rearranging, choosing and adjusting, often over long periods and having explored hundreds, even thousands of the infinite possible outcomes. In this way the creative process itself is as significant as the final outcome.Jo Hummel Artist

Michele Rondelli is a Swiss born interior architect educated in Switzerland and in Paris, France. He then worked for major architectural and design companies in the U.S. and Asia. His tasteful design approach and unique sense for Zeitgeist can be found in many international private projects but also in the public segment. Since 2015 he was appointed as the Creative Director for ZigZagZurich and 4Spaces, two innovative and leading textile brands headquartered in Zurich Switzerland.Michele Rondelli

Roland Schär is a visual artist and designer born in Zurich, Switzerland. He studied art history in Zurich and Paris and painting in Toulouse, France. His work has been shown in many exhibitions in Europe and Asia in public institutions and private galleries. Since 2007 he teaches graphics and textile design at the National School of Decorative Arts (ENSAD) in Paris, where he is also Head of the textile department since 2012. Schär’s work shows the reminiscence of landscapes seen and materials observed: rhythms, colors and textures are combined in a game of proportions. The shapes of the colors meet and connect from side to side of the fabric in a free and spontaneous painting movement.
