KNOLLING
Thinking that it might be a good idea for the two of us to get inspired around the house, adding a bit of creativity to the locked-down world that we are all now living in, what could be better than a bit of Knolling! A rather therapeutic and meditative activity.
Simply defined Knolling is the process of arranging related objects in parallel or 90-degree angles as a method of organisation.
The word knolling, was first used in 1987 by Andrew Kromelow, a janitor at Frank Gehry’s furniture fabrication shop. The term was born in the workshop, where at the end of each day Andrew Kromelow would arrange and tidy the tools in the workshop, organising them at right angles.
The Knolling movement became a popular instagram trend, has tumblr’s dedicated to it, and the subject of coffee books.
I have always been rather captivated by Knolling. There is something very satisfying about grouping and organising objects. We thought that it might be a good idea to have a go at Knolling in colour groups instead of “like” objects.
Susy, our silk scarf from the Myriad collection, groups repeated hand-drawn motifs; it’s a perfect example of knolling.
