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.
