DIALOG First Edition (woven)

Contemporary Art: First Edition (1988) Since its inauguration ten years ago, the "Contemporary Art: First Edition" collection has decisively changed the way creative textile flooring design is viewed. Renowned artists, architects and designers such as Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Sam Francis, Norman Foster, Michael Graves, Arata Isozaki, Jean Nouvel, Gerhard Richter, Zaha Hadid, Richard Meier, Sol LeWitt, Matteo Thun, Oswald Matthias Ungers and Mimmo Paladino have been active for the "First Edition". Vorwerk has literally brought contemporary art to the floor with the new perspectives in "flooring reform" initiated by the "First Edition". Time and again, the power of the designs and their ability to stand on their own demand an intensive, critical examination of textile flooring design as a part of the overall space.
