THE 5 PLAIDS
In a collaboration with the Studio Klessmann from Berlin, I developed 5 handwoven plaids, each of them unique and one of a kind.
The plaids are inspired by the materials, textures and colors of my handbags collection.
Especially Linen, Wool and the warm tone of the brass locks and the vegetable tanned leather gave the main color inspiration.
All plaids have a repeating stripe pattern, that is once in a while interrupted by a small stripe or single thread in a different color.
These `disruptors´ should emphasize the handmade character of the shawls.
In the Japanese aesthetic concept Wabi Sabi, imperfections are worshiped as true beauty.
The plaids are made in a combination of Italian wool and Swedish linen, perfect for a summer evening or a walk at the seaside.
With the size of the plaid you can wrap yourself inside or throw it over your shoulder and show the luxurious elegance of the plaid.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-207452″ medias=”2178,2179,2173″ gutter_size=”3″ screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-157699″ medias=”2177,2174″ gutter_size=”3″ screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_width=”6″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]I met Christina Klessmann over a year ago by chance, as I was selling leftover fabrics in my studio, and she bought some of them for her work.
We stayed in contact over social media and I was intrigued by the beauty and the process of the hand loom weaving.
I visited her at her atelier in Berlin Charlottenburg and the more I saw about this technique, the more I was fascinated.
It seems a very anachronistic craft, especially in a time, when everything has to be fast and the price as low as possible.
But it is craftsmanship in its purest form. The slowness and the accurateness of the process make it an authentic product,
a highly precious product with a soul.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-437137″ medias=”2155,2156,2157,2158,2159″ gutter_size=”3″ screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]About Christina:
