Painter and designer Madeline Weinrib is the granddaughter of ABC Carpet & Home founder Max Weinrib. She carries on the family tradition with her innovative collection of artisanally- crafted carpets and textiles. Translating her painterly sensibilities into woven form, Weinrib launched her first carpet collection in 1998. In addition to carpets and textiles, her atelier on the 6th floor of ABC showcases evening bags, caftans and vintage furniture. The artist’s recent projects include a bespoke flooring installation for the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a signature carpet designed for the Neue Galerie. In addition to her creative pursuits, Weinrib is a trustee of Project Mala, a non- profit organization committed to eradicating child labor in the carpet industry.
“The Swan chair is one of my favorite Mid-Century designs. With its undulating curves and comfortable deep swivel seat, it embodies the ideal of form and function. For this project, I have created a pink and white striped Ikat fabric. I love the harmonic interplay between the bold geometry of the fabric with the chairs sexy organic form. Also, to make the chair more unique, I have added an antique Suzani fragment from my personal collection. I am proud to be part of the design community’s fight against breast cancer.”
The chairs will be on view at SUITE New York during the month of October for interested bidders to view in person.
