The collaborative quilt series by A.P.C. and British-born designer Jessica Ogden continues, and the very latest trophy pieces from Round 16 are about to drop in stores across the planet. The quilts explore a more technical approach, focusing on borders as specifically seen on the Symphony in G quilt or the Allegro cushion. The pieces were named as if pieces of classical music because A.P.C. creative director Jean Touitou finds it simply poetic. In a compatible manner, all the cushions were named after Italian terms to describe the intention given to some parts of a classical piece, such as Andante and Crescendo. The alluring photographs by Paris-based Venezuelan lensman Alfredo Piola were shot in Ogden’s homeland of Jamaica, on the lush Blue Mountain Peak to be precise, where the duo hiked around to find the most appealing backdrops for the quilts and cushions. As said, the new collection will be available at A.P.C. stores, but can also be conveniently purchased online.
Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
