Arranged by weaving and decorative techniques, the new presentation of the MAK Textiles and Carpets Collection makes it possible to experience the exhibits’ diversity as a colorful cross section of the collection. For this redisplay the MAK collaborated with the renowned Milan-based design studio Formafantasma, founded in 2009. The studio opted for delicate accents of color, atmospheric lighting, and large-format showcases, with the latter enabling visitors to look closely at these fascinating works.
