Camilla Kovac
Philosophy
'Swedish designer Camilla Kovac may look like an anarchist, but she thinks like an architect. One of the first textile designers to start cutting holes in textiles and structuring them in terms of negative space, Kovac's early works related more to deconstruction architecture than they did to fabric design. 'I've always liked surfaces', she said. 'They are what we see first, what invites us closer and what draws us in'. Kovac's talent for laser-cutting circular repeats and crescent shapes imbue her works with the transparency, texture and robustness more typical of a building facade than a fabric length. Her work transforms flat surfaces into richly-textured 3-D forms that challenge conventional ideas of what a textile should be'.
