Description from the seller
The Sunset is a mesmerizing new carpet and custom designed by Alfhild Külper for Transnatural.
Originally born in Sweden, artist and designer Alfhild Külper is currently based in Amsterdam. She studied at Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London. Having spent the last 10 years as a fashion designer for Dutch Maison Viktor & Rolf, she has turned her practice from dressing the body towards dressing our living spaces a few years ago. Alfhild Külper is now creating artistic, emotionally loaded, soft shaped textile artworks and carpets.
For the production of these carpets, we closely collaborate with an Indian family company, who’s embedded in the traditional craftsmanship of tapestry making in India. The landscapes are hand crafted with soft, natural, sustainable fibers using a mix of traditional tufting techniques with 3D embroidery. The carpet is directly shipped from India to clients to reduce the transport movements (reason the transport cost might be higher than expected, ). The final bid will be excluding import costs, which are for the buyer and will be added to the buyers price when importing the goods to the final destination, so be aware.
size:
W 426 cm x H322 cm
weight 65 kg (102kg crated)
Seller's Story
Transnatural manages a unique collection of art & design works. Natural processes, extraordinary material concepts, research and experimentation are often the starting point for the creators. This results in distinctive art and (custom) designs, serving a global network of clients. The artists’ production methods pay close attention to new, alternative energy and environmentally friendly material resources. We explore ways how to (re-) design our living spaces so that users, nature and technology can expand, enrich and feed each other.
Transnatural serves a global network of clients (retailers, galleries, architects, designers, consumers) and develops projects that reach beyond any standard result.
