Kieffer joyfully navigates weft and warp with the confidence that detail makes the difference. Kieffer sees textile as the preferred interface for the tactile exploration of the domestic environment: fabrics serve life to veil and highlight, to shelter and comfort, and ultimately to always celebrate the senses. Kieffer weaves together the archetypical and the simple with the bold and the adventurous, as long as it serves and honours daily life. Kieffer knows when to be quiet and when to be exuberant, when it is time to whisper while also recognising the innate intensity of raw materials. Kieffer cares. Cares for quality, cares for durability, cares for nuances, cares for the integrity of production processes. Kieffer produces in the proximity of Lake Como, at the Rubelli factory, but chooses to expand globally when it makes sense to include other expertise.
Materials
This collection looks both at what is needed and what is desired, departing from the timeless beauty and functionality of natural fibres: wool, linen, hemp, jute, cotton and paper. Tactility is central and explored from the subtle to the excessive. The innate seductiveness of un-dyed fabrics and natural pigments is highlighted by pairing these with touches of synthesised lime, lilac and pink colours.
Kieffer is a celebration of simplicity and care for the wonderful imperfections of the loom, for the subtlety of tonal compositions of colours and the pleasure of touch. Untitled is uncomplicated, sensitive and a celebration of natural fibres.
Leafing through a Kieffer catalogue means discovering very varied fabrics with a strong personality, able to bring beauty, colour and a smile into our homes.
