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.
Raspberry: The Food Collection
The inspiration for the Raspberry Throw lies behind Bertman's unique collection, "Food," which is based on the percentage of protein, fat, carbohydrate, and other content from meticulously chosen food items. The Raspberry throw features five colors that blend together seamlessly to create stunning textural and visual effects. Made from soft cotton, it's a treat for your senses and the perfect addition to any cozy space. Interestingly, raspberries have the highest dietary fiber value among whole foods, accounting for 6% of the total weight.
