I have been to Athens this February. It was just a week before I started a new position as a textile designer. If I think back in time one of my first presentations I can properly remember was about Athens, the Olympics and of course the Acropolis. Ever since I dreamt to go there and experience these masterpieces of history with my own eyes. It was breathtaking and very special to stand there at the top - looking above this massive city Athens and admiring these marble buildings ; Panthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike and the Propylaea. It gave me strength to start into this new chapter in my career. 🤘💪

What a beautiful way to close this year at Salone Verde! 💚🎄 Our heartfelt thanks to Claudia Kohlhoff and her wonderful team for an unforgettable installation that filled our space with warmth, light, and creativity during these magical winter months in Venice. We’re also deeply grateful to all the organizers and the many inspiring people who worked together on this project. "TEXTILES TRADITION TRANSFORMATION" was received with great enthusiasm and emotional connection. Visitors described the installation as visually stunning, poetic, and magical, praising its thoughtful curation, sensitive use of light, music, and video, and the elegant presentation. The exhibition invited reflection on sustainability, memory, and the reuse of textiles, while awakening a sense of closeness and nostalgia. We’re proud to host such meaningful projects at Salone Verde art & social club and to bring together incredible artists, designers, researchers, and creatives. 📸 Photos of the opening ceremony by Julia Blank @juliablankphotography Exhibition: Textiles Tradition Transformation Part of "keep cool!

TEXTILES TRADITION TRANSFORMATION Exhibition by Claudia Kohlhoff Architect and textile collector Claudia Kohlhoff (b. 1946, Germany) studied architecture in Aachen, Zurich, and Stuttgart, where she graduated. After years of architectural practice shared with her husband Sven and countless travels, she developed a deep passion for textiles discovered in bazaars, flea markets, and small local shops around the world. Guided by her personal aesthetic rather than museum criteria, Claudia built an extensive textile collection. Since 2018, she has been transforming these materials into garments, wearable “objects”, developed through a complex, sensitive, and creative process with highly skilled young couturiers. Each piece reinterprets traditional textiles into a new, contemporary form, merging tradition and transformation, the past and the present, the textile and the body. The process and its many details are documented through artistic photography. ______________________________________________________________________ Exhibition: Textiles Tradition Transformation Part of "keep cool!

Oggi alle 16 il @saloneverde art & social club presenta una nuova mostra con i tessuti della collezione privata di Claudia Kohlhoff. Textiles Tradition Transformation. Textiles reinterpreted and transformed into contemporary forms and pieces. Claudia Kohlhoff Collection La mostra è negli spettacolari spazi della galleria in calle della Regina, vicino a Campo San Cassian. Qui grandi tessuti diventano opere d’arte dialogando con abiti realizzati da giovani couturier: Katharina Ruprecht - couture @mirage_morgana Lotta Bühler - couture @attol__lotta Sophie Ringgenburger - archive @fu_textiles Il recycling e l’upcycling sono presenti nel processo, come l’utilizzo di tessuti etnici ed etici. Il progetto è una di quelle scoperte preziose che illuminano la notte, come il dialogo con le giovani couturier che saranno protagoniste di realizzazioni sartoriali durante il periodo della mostra, cioè fino al 28 dicembre 2025. Vieni a conoscere la collezione di Claudia Kohlhoff, architetto e collezionista di tessuti di Stoccarda @claudiatextiles . Nella prima sala è in corso l’installazione Heat is a Psychological Problem dell’artista Antje Schiffer con i tessuti di Claudia. Per la scoperta del progetto ringrazio @fondationvalmont che ha creato l’iniziativa La Nuit De La Rive Gauche che ieri ci ha condotto attraverso le gallerie di San Polo. Ci vediamo all’opening e stay tuned per altre immagini. @venicefashionweek
