Artist Bedding Collection FW 18/19
ZigZagZurich collaborates with artists and designers, both established and new, on unique collections transformed into textiles under the direction of creative director Michele Rondelli and founders of ZigZagZurich. The new 2018/2019 ZigZagZurich artist bedding collection adds an exciting new roster of artists from around the globe. We use the highest quality European woven cottons for our bedding, not synthetic fibers, with the same quality standard of handmade Italian production we stand behind on all our ranges.
Our next roster of artists includes:
- Julia Heuer is best known for her dynamic prints and artisanal handmade plissé which she creates for her own homonym fashion brand sold worldwide in the most exclusive stores. Heuer’s work is characterized by a playful mix of bold patterns and vibrant colours. She creates unique prints for various fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Comme des Garçons, Calvin Klein and others. Most recently, Heuer was awarded the prestigious Swiss Design Prize in 2016 for her collection Adobe Indigo. For ZigZagZurich she designed stunning beddings that present brilliant color gradients, lighting effects, smooth and organic shapes in a perfect aesthetic dialogue.
- Roland Schär is a visual artist and designer born in Zurich, Switzerland. He studied art history in Zurich and Paris and painting in Toulouse, France. His work has been shown in many exhibitions in Europe and Asia in public institutions and private galleries. Since 2007 he teaches graphics and textile design at the National School of Decorative Arts (ENSAD) in Paris, where he is also Head of the textile department since 2012. Schär’s work shows the reminiscence of landscapes seen and materials observed: rhythms, colors and textures are combined in a game of proportions.
- Romano Hänni is a Swiss artist and typographer, experimenting with unusual composition of symbols since 1980s. The bedding “Words make the infinite finite” is the textile translation of Hänni’s book hand composed and hand printed in black, red and blue ink. Romano Hänni can be considered a master of visual poetry. Although language can be explanatory, he believes that only signs and symbols evoke notions. Without signs or symbols, even the most modern of world views becomes impoverished.
