Never Felt Before! The extraordinary textiles of Claudy Jongstra
September 9-October 19
Opening night: Thursday, September 8, 2005 7-9 PM

Moss
152 Greene Street @ Houston Street
New York, NY

For those of you who have never experienced Moss in NYC, be sure to stop by on your next jaunt to Soho. The mecca shares the block with other renowned design outlets, but none come close to the selection, quality, and presentation carefully produced each season by Moss’s designerati team.

Moss’s next event is the debut solo exhibition of textile designer Claudy Jongstra. This Dutch-born fabric maven has constructed felts that include not only wool from her own flock of rare Drenthe Heath sheep, but also organza, rag linen, cashmere, and alpaca.

Her impressive cliente ranges from haute couturiers Christian Lacroix and John Galliano to industrial designers Hella Jongerius, Ettore Sottsass, and Jasper Morrison. She has also collaborated with architects Steven Holl and Will Bruder to create acoustic-enhancing materials for residential projects.

Jongstra will celebrate the the US launch of her first publication, Matter and Meaning, on the exhibition’s opening night. To be added to the guestlist, simply drop an email to: rsvp@mossonline.com.
