EYE| Raf Simons Unveils American Quilts Collab Of 100 Cassina Feltri Armchairs At Design Miami/Basel 2018

Calvin Klein Chief Creative Officer Raf Simons unveils the full range of his cohesive design vision with its first installation at Design Miami/Basel. Housed in an authentic American barn, Raf Simons unveils a limited edition collection collaboration by Gaetano Pesce of 100 Cassina Feltri armchairs upholstered in vintage one-of-a-kind American heirloom quilts.

Calvin Klein house codes are applied to each one of the numbered armchair’s interior upholstery featuring quilt’s that date back to the 19th and 20th centuries. armchairs numbered 1 – 50 will be available for purchase at the fair, while the remaining 50 – 100 will be made available for purchase through Cassina at a later date.

The barn, one of several built for the Calvin Klein 205W39NYC fall 2018 runway show, is reconstructed  from reclaimed wood dated to the 19th century. Barn walls are papered with billboard-scale images of artwork by Andy Warhol, part of the brand’s ongoing and multi-level partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
