What is House of LAV?

House of LAV is the place where unique textile pieces meet artistic practice. It is the part of Atelier LAV that cannot be explained – only experienced.

More than Clothing

At Atelier LAV everything revolves around consciously created unique textile pieces – clothing, accessories, home objects. But sometimes that is not enough. Sometimes something comes into being that is more than a garment, more than an everyday object. Something that tells its own story, expresses a conviction, captures a moment.

That is precisely what House of LAV is for.

Special Editions and Collaborations

House of LAV brings together special projects: limited editions, artistic collaborations, works at the boundary between fashion, textile art and fine art.

Jedes Projekt ist ein eigenes Universum. Jedes entsteht aus einer konkreten Idee, einem Anlass, einer Begegnung – und trägt diesen Ursprung in sich.

Among the projects that have emerged from House of LAV so far:

ARTILICHEN
Artichoke, lichen and lion's mane mushroom as artistic starting points – from oil painting to 3D object through to plastic-free unique textile pieces with screen printing in turmeric and indigo.

SKINAGANZA!
An exploration of the beauty, complexity and uniqueness of skin – through painting, fabric painting, accessories and clothing. In collaboration with Wolfgang Schwarz.

Let’s Spring
62 unique textile pieces as an interactive installation in an art space – in dialogue with three further positions from the alternative art scene.

Kitty Cats
A specially designed pattern – the abstraction of the memory of my cat Neo – screen printed onto organic cotton. Clothing, accessories and painted unique pieces.

Light/Lines
Three videos, specially composed music and plastic-free clothing from unbleached organic fabric united into one total work. In collaboration with Ambify Production / Christian Skoglund.

Art for Humans
Waldhautbaden / Shinrin Hada Yoku: an immersive installation from mesh kimono, paper leaves and SnapPap – inspired by the idea of forest bathing.

HHK
A purist exhibition: painting, mesh kimono and transparent organdy hand in dialogue. Every angle a different picture.

All is one

The guiding principle of House of LAV is simple and yet all-encompassing: All is one. It is a conviction. A reminder that art and craft, body and fabric, idea and material are not separate – but always belong together.

Who is House of LAV for?

For all those who seek more than a beautiful piece. Who are interested in the story behind the object. Who want to wear, gift or own art – without distance, without a white gallery space, close to life.

House of LAV pieces can – like all creations from Atelier LAV – be made anew on request. Some editions are strictly limited, others open to interpretation and further development.
