In a time when our connection to nature feels increasingly distant, renowned textile designer and partner at MüllerVanTol, Christiane Müller, is bringing the serenity and beauty of the natural world indoors. Partnering with HBF Textiles,Müller has crafted the “Moments of Wander” collection – three patterns that capture fleeting moments during her travels, to create indoor outdoor textiles that are tough but still retain indoor woven qualities. Debuting at BDNY, this collection is a tribute to the wonders of nature, capturing its essence through three distinct fabrics: “Fields of Velvet,” “Trails of Tweed,” and “Seeds of Color.” Each textile invites us to explore the macro- and microcosms of the outdoors, offering a tactile connection to nature within our spaces.
“The starting point for ‘Moments of Wander’ was my long-standing fascination with the myriad structures and colors I encounter in nature,” Müller shares. “I find inspiration everywhere – walking along the seashore; hiking through canyons, in forests, and on volcanic islands like Lanzarote; wandering through city streets and seeing nature and concrete collide.”
The collection beautifully embodies Müller’s inspiration. “Fields of Velvet” showcases the interplay of foliage and sky through an intricate double-loom weave; “Trails of Tweed” reflects the rugged beauty of volcanic landscapes with its textured, matte finish; and “Seeds of Colour” brings the vibrant hues of meadows and gardens to life, weaving together 13 colorways inspired by landscape architect, Piet Oudolf.
‘Moments of Wander’ not only showcases Christiane Müller’s creative vision but also highlights HBF Textiles’ commitment to artistry, quality, and innovation. Each fabric is skillfully crafted by talented artisans, seamlessly blending Müller’s expertise in material solutions and textiles design with human creativity. The result is a collection that is not only visually captivating but also narrates the harmonious connection between nature, design and impactful materials. Müller has been collaborating with HBF Textiles for 16 years, previously launching three award-winning collections.
