Christiane Müller Collection

HBF Textiles has teamed with Amsterdam-based designer Christiane Müller to create the Christiane Müller Collection, a series of tactile fabrics that blur the line between work and home with artistic flair. The Christiane Müller Collection focuses on fabric with character, using texture, yarn, and color to create personality. By implementing fresh construction techniques and playing with color in unexpected ways, the collection stays true to the artistic design voice of HBF Textiles, where quality and innovation balance harmoniously. Müller looked to the architecture world and beyond to discover the inspiration points to her namesake collection. From the optically-oriented abstract paintings of the Dutch artist Jan Schoonhoven, the minimalist architecture of Peter Zumthor, the raw product design of Lex Pott, the multi-dimensional assemblage sculptures of Isa Genzken, the charming creations of fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck, and more, the textiles’ non-traditional origin stories are apparent in their structures and colors. Müller explains, “My goal when I design projects is always to increase the experience of a ‘good space,’ where you feel at home and at ease. Interiors play a key role in our day-to-day happiness, and I wanted this collection to bring out these positive feelings. The materialization of our surroundings is essential to our wellbeing.” The collection exudes a feeling of authenticity and simplicity, however, it is anything but basic. A strong color story ties together the textiles, featuring a playful palette of almost fluorescent levels that injects immediate vibrancy. All of the fabrics feature layers of color, and they seamlessly interact with each other to create a complete aesthetic story. The expressive colors are further enhanced by the textural constructions. Designs such as Complex and Honest Square display a rich, three-dimensional quality, and all of the fabrics maintain an incredibly soft hand. Links: – https://www.hbftextiles.com/
