Gift of Pollack and Associatesexpand_more 2007.127.2
This fabirc is from Mark Pollack's 2007 collection that has drawn its inspiration from the historic textile holdings at the Rhode Island School of Design, his alma mater. The panel, made for use in 21st century homes, is a consummate statement about the designer's ability to move beyond structure to communicate the aesthetic statement.
This fabirc is a complex structure woven in Switzerland on computer programmed and power-driven jacquard looms, the most sophisticated equipment available, and yet was inspired by textiles hand-embroidered in the nineteenth century.
Peachy communicates the same decorative inspiration as the omni present Turkish hand towels produced not only by skilled women in their homes, but also by several professional workshops in Istanbul during the late 19th century.
