Needlepoint Designers | Kaffe Fassett

In 1988 the Victoria and Albert Museum in London staged a retrospective exhibition of Kaffe's work. He was the first living textile designer to have a show there. The exhibition brought together work from across his range: paintings, tapestry, knitwear, wallpapers, fabrics and various aspects of his graphic design. Since then the range has expanded to include ceramics, mosaics, quilts, printed fabrics and bed linen.

Fassett's designs have a wonderful glow, thanks to his subtle graduations of color.  They are bolder, more original and simply a lot more fun than anything else on the market.

Kaffe may be known for his crafts but he has always been involved in a much wider world. His hungry eye restlessly searches for ideas that can be transposed from one medium to another and it was some 19th century French wallpapers which prompted him to start stitching the Limited Edition needlepoint kit Jungle Sunrise.
