Design Within Reach Presents
The Nick Cave Collection

By Knoll Textiles

25 May 2023 | 7 pm edt

Information View Lots

On May 25th, in collaboration with Design Within Reach (DWR), Nick Cave and Knoll Textiles, Wright presents an auction of 12 limited-edition Saarinen Knoll chairs upholstered in fabrics from The Nick Cave Collection for Knoll Textiles. Split among seven lots—a set of six Executive chairs, and six individual Womb chairs with ottomans, all signed by the artist—this special auction event brings together the best of art and design while supporting Nick Cave's foundation, Facility.

All proceeds from the auction will go to Facility which provides scholarships and opportunities for young and emerging artists through collaborations with established artists and partnerships with like-minded organizations and institutions. 

Nick Cave is a groundbreaking multimedia artist best known for his multisensory Soundsuits. Inspired by his art installations, Cave’s collection with Knoll Textiles layers pattern and craft techniques to create textiles that are themselves works of art.
