The inspiration for Camino Real weave came from a preparatory study in the 1960s. Anni was commissioned to produce a wall hanging installation for the Camino Real Hotel in Mexico. Our challenge was to deconstruct the drawing and then convert it into a woven design with the same level of detail that Anni would have applied to the final work. The yarn colours were taken from the comparative picture, using the same blue tones and rich terracotta colours.

Child’s Check is inspired by ‘Rug Design for Child’s Room’, a work by Albers in 1928. It was not a completed work but a sketch, which Albers later planned to create as a textile piece. The design has been re-imagined in the brand’s house colours and tones to compliment the new collection.

Hanging 1925 is inspired by a work called ‘Wall Hanging’, created in 1925 by Albers. As the most prominent artist in the school of textiles, Albers was well known for using geometric abstraction in her weavings. The new colourways stay true to Albers’ vision and unique narrative when using colours together. The design focuses on the original work’s weave construction and rich texture.

‘With Verticals’ was a cotton and linen wall hanging produced by Albers in 1946. The skill required to create the broken vertical lines within the weave is hard to fathom. It was essential to match the same scale of the vertical lines when developing the design in a new iteration. In contrast to the original work, the new design is produced in natural tones.

Black Mountain accurately represents Anni’s skill as a designer and weaver. The original work, ‘Untitled’ 1941, has a highly complex weaving pattern and combines five yarn materials: rayon, linen, cotton, wool, and jute. Refining and developing Anni’s original weave construction was the key to evolving the design, which has created this modern pattern.

Frieda has a timeless woven construction; the ideal plain weave is presented in complimentary tones to those of the collection. In addition, its cotton to linen ratio makes it the perfect weight for curtains or upholstery.

SOLD BY THE ROLL - TOTAL ROLL LENGTH 8M ‘With Verticals’ has been interpreted as wallpaper to complement the woven offering within the collection. Inspired initially by a cotton and linen wall hanging produced by Albers in 1946, it has been printed on grasscloth to create textuality, connecting it to the original work.

Christopher Farr Cloth has collaborated with Alice Kettle, a contemporary textile artist and Professor of Textiles at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University on a special cushion project with craft groups of refugees. With Alice’s guidance and support, the brand has commissioned individuals from craft groups across the UK to create a collection of hand-embroidered cushions featuring distinctive running stitched designs. The program continues Alice’s ongoing work with Bridges for Communities and Arnolfini’s Women’s Craft Group in partnership with the Bristol Refugee Festival.
