The Metropolitan Museum of Art joins forces with Chilewich on the special joint Chilewich collection. The textile company presents modern designs that are rooted in a timeless pattern and progressive craftsmanship. The designs are meant to tell a story through its fine details. The collection comprises details, including runners, rugs, and placements — it is meant to fill dining and living spaces. The core collection is made up of 36,000 textile objects that are applied to a plethora of departments.

The MET has provided the perfect range of inspiration for the brand. The two also share the belief that people should be surrounded by beauty. Kristin Harris, Chilewich’s Vice President of Design and Creative states, “Our design team spent hours culling through the Met’s vast archives of antiquities – there are 5,000 years of art after all! It was important to us that we identify designs that blend the timeless artistry of historic textiles with contemporary design.”
