AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artist and designer Alfhild Külper redefines the concept of artistic tapestries by merging traditional craftsmanship with a deep sensitivity to form and space. After a decade of designing couture for the renowned Dutch fashion house Viktor & Rolf, Alfhild has shifted her creative focus from adorning the human body to enhancing interior environments. Her work now centers around sculptural, soft-shaped tapestries that maintain a tactile dialogue with humans.
Her latest collection, Dreamscapes especially designed for Transnatural, introduces an organic aesthetic that offers immersive sensory experiences. These tactile works are designed to harmonize with interiors, adapting seamlessly to different spatial needs and emotional atmospheres. The variation in yarn density and surface height creates lush, cushion-like landings that not only invite physical comfort but also enhance acoustic quality. The tapestry can be mounted to the wall or used on the floor.
Each piece from the Dreamscapes series is handcrafted in collaboration with a family-owned workshop in India, rooted in generations of traditional tapestry artistry. Using sustainable, natural fibers, the tapestries are made through a unique fusion of traditional tufting and dimensional embroidery techniques. This item is a presentation model, new and in good condition. We ship it from the gallery in Amsterdam (pickup is possible as well).
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.
