The Tracey Neuls and Nina Saunders collaboration for British textile brand Sanderson combines the artistry of shoe design with sculpture creation. The exhibition ‘Most Curious’ displays a thawing couch and shoes to celebrate the textile company’s 150th anniversary.
London shoe designer Tracey Neuls has her shoes on show, featuring cast rubber soles covered in Sanderson fabrics. Sculptor Nina Saunders, who is famous for creating melting artworks, has her sculpture center stage with the melting sofa, also conveniently upholstered with Sanderson. A cute but quirky display for the eyes, this is one exhibition worth checking out.
