A BLANKET AFTER CAMILLE GRAESER

In spring 2025 Galery von Bartha Basel showed the exhibition «Yours, Camille Graeser». The exhibition featured a selection of unpublished works by the Swiss avant-garde artist, designer and interior decorator Camille Graeser (1892-1980).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.

MATRIX PRINTS ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES

In Mai 2024 we invited the MATRIX Customer to choose the personal colors for a silk scarf. From a color chart featuring 500 shades were three colors selected. We printed the individual color combination one time. The one-of-a-kind scarfs were as diverse as our customers. From colorful to soft, bright to subtle; the wide pallet of unique scarfs amazed the MATRIX costumers and us likewise.

NOTEBOOKS - Handmade in Basel

The notebook collection was created in Basel through a collaboration between MATRIX and Petite Ourse. The cover was screen-printed by MATRIX with the brand’s signature geometric patterns and is available in a wide range of color combinations. Petite Ourse designs and prints the papers and the banderole using letterpress on vintage printing presses, and binds the notebooks into beautiful notebooks with color-coordinated thread. Eighteen different notebooks in two sizes have been created. Their production required a big amount of careful craftsmanship. The result is a collection of true gems—practical everyday companions and exquisite gifts. And what’s more, they’re 100% handmade in Basel.
