Presented by Creative Director, Michal Silver, join us in discovering the new Christopher Farr Cloth x Olaf Hajek collection – an inspired collaboration with the renowned artist celebrated for his vivid color, folkloric motifs, and narrative-driven visual language.

About the Collab;

Olaf Hajek was born in Rendsburg, Germany. After he finished his degree in graphic design at the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf, he moved to Amsterdam and began to work as a freelance artist.

Olaf primarily lives and works in Berlin, but travels frequently and is represented by an agency on nearly every continent.

A technically perfect illustrator, he creates enchanting visual patterns, scenes and creative characters in which nature and artifice are intertwined. Olaf collects mental images everywhere he goes: on his travels, in magazines, or on the internet.

African traditions, Indian temple art, South American folklore, and pop culture are all expressed in new ways in his almost surreal tableaux.

He plays with motifs of flora and fauna, archaic symbols and current themes, working them all into his pieces in great detail and virbant colour.

His personal work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions in Hamburg, Munich, Berlin, Atlanta and Cape Town.

Michal was a studied Fashion Designer, developing men’s and women’s fashion at Mulberry in the 90’s. From early on she was incorporating textiles from the home collections into the women’s line, and inspiration exploded. Christopher Farr was founded in 1988 by Christopher Farr and Matthew Bourne. When Michal met Christopher in 1999 he was keen to expand the business beyond rugs. This serendipitous encounter sparked the creation of Christopher Farr Cloth which encompasses fabric, wallpaper, trimming and accessories.

“At Cloth we weave not just fabric, but stories, values, and a vision for living with intention and authenticity.”
