Simon Key Bertman is a textile artist and designer living in Stockholm who operates both nationally and internationally. With a sharp eye for pattern, texture, and color, Simon Key Bertman’s work has received considerable recognition over the past few years. Simon Key Bertman has inspiration flowing through his veins; he creates fabrics that are more than simply decorative accents. The dynamic sequences of color, shading, and form Bertman uses in his handwoven textiles reveal a complex line of thought, pulling playful experiments with color and mathematics together into unique and textural textiles. The focus of Bertman's work is to extract and produce surface textures and patterns that, in two- or three-dimensional textiles, reflect a process, a mathematical thought, and/or sometimes a game. Unique to the work of Simon Key Bertman is the underlying social codes that his weaving, textures, and patterns represent, identify, and problematize. Every encounter between two threads or a system of threads in the textile is unique and has a meaning.
Lemon: The Food Collection
The Lemon Throw is inspired by Bertman's collection ”Food” which is based on the percentage of protein, fat, carbohydrate, and the rest of the content from carefully selected foods. The throw features a careful combination of five colors that seamlessly blend into another. Made of ultra-soft, luxurious cotton, it's hard to resist snuggling up in this cozy throw. Did you know that lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C? In fact, a 100g serving provides 64% of the daily value of this vital nutrient.
