LEISURE cushion for MATRJOSKA, KIM : STEAD SIGN : deSIGN, merinol wool, cotton, silk, designed & hand knitted, Jung Yeon KIM, 2023-2024

During Milan design week Fuorisalone 2024, IASLD’s LEISURE series met with designer STEAD’s MATRJOSKA in the form of knitted cover to STEAD’s cushion, conceived as support material for artwork, while the Badminton II (2024) remediated as a hand-knotted wall-hanging underscores the validity of artistic collaboration in interior & bespoke product design. From October 2023, IASLD started devising and hand-knitting a double-faced cushion cover, sporting a beach mat and water sports motifs, in response to designer’s request.
