Christoph Hefti—The Missing Cat and Other Textile Stories

The world of Swiss textile designer Christoph Hefti is surreal, colorful, and wild. The exhibition affords a glimpse of his dazzling cosmos at the intersection of design and art. 

Christoph Hefti (b. 1967) is one of Switzerland's outstanding textile designers. With their distinctive visual language, his works interweave mystical and poetic narratives with precision craftsmanship. His multifaceted work melds surreal motifs, striking forms, intense colors, and sensual materials.

Hefti’s first solo exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of his work: from hand-knotted carpets, patchwork, and textile prints to ceramics, furniture, costumes, and performance art. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in a dazzling and vibrant cosmos at the intersection of design and art.
