Carpets by Alexandra Kehayoglou

These carpets are made from wool, often from the leftovers of the production of other products in the factory, carrying a strong message of sustainability.

Can’t stop thinking about the the opening of Patricia Urquiola’s Kvadrat textile installation at Moroso’s Brera store last week. The installation featured Danish food designers I’m A Kombo and served up snacks in fabric shells, and drinks inspired by wool! WGSN SUBSCRIBERS, don’t forget to check out our trade show directory next week for our full coverage of Milan Design Week.

This was so cool, I loved that the walls moved, little bit trippy.

Patti Smith’s advice to young artists

A writer or any artist can’t expect to be embraced by the people. I’ve done records where it seemed like no one listened to them. You write poetry books that maybe 50 people read. And you just keep doing your work because you have to, because it’s your calling.

But it’s beautiful to be embraced by the people.

Some people have said to me, “Well, don’t you think that kind of success spoils one as an artist? If you’re a punk rocker, you don’t want to have a hit record…”

And I say to them, “Fuck you!”

One does their work for the people. And the more people you can touch, the more wonderful it is. You don’t do your work and say, “I only want the cool people to read it.” You want everyone to be transported, or hopefully inspired by it.

When I was really young, William Burroughs told me, “Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises. Don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful. Be concerned with doing good work. And make the right choices and protect your work. And if you can build a good name, eventually that name will be its own currency.”

So, so good.

My parents always told me life is hard. And also that life isn’t fair. I find myself telling people this all the time now.

So impressive!

My first ‘drape’ of the semester!

For those of you who are not set with this tedious task I shall explain…

To help visualise how my fabrics might look within a real interior we do simulations, or drapes. Find a good image to drape on is quite difficult - here I’ve found an image where the textile is white and not bending around corners. However you have to also make sure that the interior at least some what matches you ideal interior.

Then a whole lot of Photoshop trickery ensues involving layers and smoke screens (opacity levels) and occasionally a little liquifying and mesh making.

All in all, I’m pretty proud of this one!

(P.S. The fabric - left hand side - is my own design and photographed by me, I don’t know who owns the right to the original photograph.)
