Designer, artist and former creative collaborator of Dries Van Noten, Christoph Hefti, is exhibiting new textile works at The Little House, an exhibition space at Dries Van Noten, LA, the designer’s first American location.
Dries Van Noten celebrated the opening of its first American home on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles on 9 October 2020. This flagship store is about so much more than the habitual retail experience. With an open layout of approx. 800 square metres, the LA shop comprises two houses separated by a vast parking lot – The Big House and The Little House.
Following the opening exhibition at The Little House, featuring ceramics by Ann Demeulemeester / Serax, Swiss textile designer and artist Christoph Hefti (born in 1967 in Zurich) will exhibit his work from 26 November for the rest of the year.
Hefti will present an installation featuring three of his hand-knotted relief rugs made of Nepalese wool and silk, as well as three new interior settings.
In recent years, Christoph Hefti has become an absolute specialist in printed fabrics and carpets. Following his study of textile design in Zurich, and fashion at Central Saint Martins in London, he spent 13 years as a creative assistant to Dries Van Noten at his Antwerp atelier, where he was responsible for creating prints iconic to the designer.
After leaving Antwerp behind, Hefti started working on a freelance basis for various fashion houses, including Lanvin and Balenciaga in Paris, and Acne Studios in Stockholm. He currently designs fabrics for Mugler in Paris.
Christoph Hefti is represented by the Brussels gallery MANIERA, specialized in limited edition interior objects designed by artists and architects.
Christoph Hefti’s exhibition at The Little House of DRIES VAN NOTEN, LA (CIENEGA BLVD) runs from 26 November until 31 December 2020.
