Reaves sees product as the creative core of the series. Looking back at the artist’s previous works, fashion elements have always been an important part of his creative projects. Sometimes she uses accessories such as belts, bags and zippers to create furniture accessories such as hinges, brackets, etc., exploring the parallel relationship between fashion and home and their corresponding accessories. The patchwork rugs in this collection were inspired by old quilts found on eBay by Reaves – sellers photographed draping quilts over dining tables or wider areas of their homes, twisting the otherwise simple in the process shapes and patterns. In addition, the cartoon-like flash imagery that Reaves used in the latest short film was another source of inspiration for the series. A set of quilted hangers designed by Reaves will be on display at Acne Studios’ Greene Street store in New York.

“This collaboration continues my creative philosophy of not looking for why, just looking for what feels right. Keep adding complexity until it satisfies me, or leads me in a new creative direction,” says Reaves.

To coincide with the launch of the new capsule collection, a short film co-created by Reaves and Bunny Lampert will be launched, with music produced by DJ Richard. Reaves and Bunny have collaborated on several occasions, most recently on the film Personal Heat, which debuted at Art Basel in September 2021.
