Alfredo Häberli Design Development

I am a big admirer of anonymous objects. Objects just created for the reason of function, precise need or just joy or passion. My studio is full of it, the drawers, the pin wall, and the shelves. In between books and models. All these create and stimulate, together with art or fashion pictures, my world of colours. I have a book, in which I do collages on colours, compositions, abstract images. With no reason or pretending.

When I work on a fabric collection, on the colours range of it, or colours for an interior, I take these collages of surfaces, objects and use them to find harmony or contrast in a range. It is a feeling, a mood. The idea behind the installation showing the three Knits Collection during the London Design Festival at the Kvadrat showroom, is to Dis-Play this moment of the process. What is fun are the different sizes on the wall and in the vitrines. The models are big in comparison to the fabrics and the real furniture small. I will play with different sizes of the mood boards.
