Revered British textiles company, Sanderson is celebrating its 150th anniversary with a collaborative project involving footwear designer Tracey Neuls and contemporary artist Nina Saunders. The results are installed at Tracey Neuls’ shop, TN29.

The collaboration is anchored by a large-scale sculpture from Nina Saunders and a dedicated collection of shoes from Tracey Neuls, both employing reissued vintage Sanderson textiles.
Saunders’ sculpture is a characteristically morphed melting item of furniture, upholstered in Sanderson, which sets the scene.
Hanging amid a forest of silver birch tree trunks is Neuls’ new shoe collection. Cast rubber soles are deftly inserted with Sanderson textile meaning the shoes have a pattern top to bottom – a trailblazing signature technique by the talented shoe designer.
