NEW MILLET PILLOWS

Whether for at home or on the go, as a gift or for yourself, our small millet pillows ensure restful and natural sleep, as they mould to your head and neck. Now available in new designs and colours in the MATRIX Shop.

NEW COLOURS

In 2004, we printed our first series of Albula wool scarves. Since then, we have been producing this scarf in a variety of new colours, always matching the seasonal colours. The plain-coloured scarf with its accentuated rolled hem has long been a MATRIX classic. Currently, there are 24 new, fresh shades of Albula to discover in the MATRIX shop.

Φ [fi:]

Since antiquity, the golden ratio has been used in the arts, in architecture, and in fashion due to its aesthetically pleasing nature. This principle of proportions describes a ratio that is perceived as particularly harmonious to the human eye and in mathematics, it is represented by the Greek letter Φ [fi:].

The new MATRIX Foulard Collection 2025/26 is inspired by the golden ratio and other mathematical number sequences. As such, we have drawn inspiration from the fields of science, nature, and design history to bring you the present iteration of foulards and scarves, screen-printed on silk and wool.

A BLANKET AFTER CAMILLE GRAESER

On 21 March 2025, von Bartha Basel opened the exhibition «Yours, Camille Graeser». The exhibition features a selection of unpublished works by the Swiss avant-garde artist, designer and interior decorator Camille Graeser (1892-1980).

Camille Graeser's oeuvre includes a large number of drawings for wallpaper, furniture, clothing and decorative fabrics. On the occasion of the exhibition at von Bartha and in collaboration with the Camille Graeser Foundation Zurich, MATRIX has designed and coloured a collection of blankets. The pattern of the blankets is inspired by Camille Graeser's work «Drei progressive Kontraste». Knitted in Switzerland from 100% merino wool and presented in a screen printed box, the blankets can be viewed and purchased in the MATRIX shop Basel and also in our online shop.
