Designers sought inspiration in the breathtaking exhibition design,extraordinary art and landmark architecture of the museums. The collections that ensued consist of an exceptional array of textiles, garden wallcoverings and hand-tufted rugs. Singular Forms (2004), the first collection to result from the collaboration, is an elegant and refined collection inspired by the spirit of Minimalism embodied in the museum's exhibition Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated).The Singular Forms Collection building mirrors Minimalism's impulse toward reduction, restraint and lucidity.This collection features eight upholsteries (Beam, Cube, Implied Block, Implied Circle, Implied Oval, Point, Square, Surface),four wallcoverings (Dot, Line, Implied Parallel, Implied Square) and a collection of 100% pure New Zealand hand-tufted rugs and modern runners by loophouse. The second collection, Abstract Matters (2006), is based upon the first works of art collected by Solomon R.Guggenheim and Hilla Rebay, his chief advisor . These first works reflect a non-objective approach to painting and sculpture. This collection of textiles, wallcoverings and rugs parallels the pure artistic invention of these artworks through a liberated use of line, shape and color, and includes six upholsteries (Improvisation, Juxtaposition, Klänge, Komposition, Sequence, Wire), one drapery (Mobile) and three wallcoverings (Assemblage, Astratta, Convex). Abstract Matters is complemented by a collection of 100% pure New Zealand hand-tufted rugs by loophouse. Material Matters is the third collection to result from this celebrated collaboration. Designers engaged art and technology to capture the provocative spirit of the museums' visionary architecture. Each style pushes the limits on material innovation in a unique way. In addition to styles reminiscent of the museums'architecture,this collection includes an audible upholstery, a die-cut, dimensional style with sustainable attributes, and styles inspired by poured concrete and a blank canvas. | | | | | | | | | | Upholstery Artist's Canvas 2825 Artist's Canvas is a take on the blank canvas - a starting point for many great works.
