Textile, Fishnet
This is a Textile. It was produced by Knoll Associates, Inc.. It is dated ca. 1947 and we acquired it in 2011. Its medium is linen and its technique is net. It is a part of the Textiles department.
As glass-walled office buildings proliferated in the mid-1950s, Knoll’s collection of casement fabrics, as a category distinct from draperies, expanded rapidly. Casements are defined as open weave or sheer fabrics that filter light without blocking it.
Fishnet is an early Knoll experiment in casement fabrics—a literal translation of simple net structures. It is proposed for acquisition along with another early Knoll casement fabric, Minnow, and a later design, Rail. Together, these textiles would help document the development of casement fabrics.
It is credited Gift of Richard and Trudy Schultz.
Its dimensions are
H x W: 45.7 x 148.6 cm (18 x 58 1/2 in.)
