Naxos, 2007

Not on Viewexpand_more

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 structur 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.

Naxos closely resembles the designs of needlework often done as dowry panels by young Greek girls living on the island of the same name.
