Knoll luxe FINE TEXTILES

The SUNO Collection consists of seven upholsteries and two draperies that have been inspired by recent looks from the runway.

Max Osterweis rst conceived of womenswear label SUNO in 2008 after witnessing post-election violence in Kenya. Utilizing the vast collection of Kenyan Kangas he had gathered over years of traveling, Max joined forces with Erin Beatty, a Parson’s graduate and designer for The Gap and Generra, to launch a high-end collection with a conscience. Since its inception, SUNO has evolved to include production in Kenya, India, Peru and its home base of New York. SUNO utilizes the local talent of each country it works with to create a fresh and optimistic collection of unique prints, textures and embroideries...

“Max and Erin have a unique and power ful understanding of pattern and color. They use global influences in ver y fresh and modern ways.” —Knoll Luxe creative director Dorothy Cosonas

Inspiration for each pattern draws from global sources, from Indian embroider y, to vintage Japanese origami paper, to the Africa Kanga (or garment).
