The exhibition focuses on a new, extraordinary and complicated textile, called "Layers", which Ms. Jongerius has been developing over the past two years with the noted American textile firm, Maharam. Incorporating many layers of various felts and woolens, laser-cut and then top-stitched together in a remarkable quilt-like fashion, these textiles, including a large number of one-off prototypes presented in numerous variations, will be applied to various furniture pieces created by Ms. Jongerius as prototype 'furniture sketches', and will include special hand embroidery. Exploring further this idea of layering materials, Ms. Jongerius is creating a number of unique studio ceramic pieces, which will extend her textile concept into another medium. icing or cake? wear your couch, hosted by the apartment loves fabrica May 20-23, Party May 20th 4-6pm, 2006 The Apartment 101 Crosby St, NYC A storefront installation and socially interactive experience designed and created by Bethany Koby and Selwa Sweidan with Fabrica, the Benetton communications research center in Treviso, Italy.
