Fascinated by Claudy Jongstra’s scientific research with Artechne Project (European Research Council) led by Sven Dupré
into the late medieval color black and with great respect for Jongstra’s eco-aware practice and holistic mission for a better planet, Viktor&Rolf have created a series of sculptural black felt coats in an array of voluminous shapes.
into the late medieval color black and with great respect for Jongstra’s eco-aware practice and holistic mission for a better planet, Viktor&Rolf have created a series of sculptural black felt coats in an array of voluminous shapes.
Constructed of Jongstra’s trademark woollen felt textures dyed in black, not just any black, but the intriguing#BurgundianBlack, with its many shades and tones centring on the darkest color in the spectrum. In a gently simmering cauldron with plant pigments, artist-alchemist Jongstra benefits from her ‘secret knowledge’ and long experience in experimentation to re-discover the long lost process of procuring this famous 'Burgundian Black': the most complex and precious of true blacks based solely on natural ingredients and ancient recipes.
