Atelier Pfister Collection 2011

The Atelier Pfister collection is designed exclusively by renowned and up-and-coming Swiss designers and is curated by internationally well-known Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli. Annette Douglas is since 2010 a designer of the Atelier Pfister collection. The beauty of high-quality materials, with the sophistication of design, for a high quality of living: this is Annette Douglas‘s statement for the Atelier Pfister collection.

Paper always fascinates and inspires Annette Douglas. How it folds, how it bends and curves, how it can be cut and shaped and so much more. Or - just the beauty of a simple, pure white paper. As a designer, she likes to be inspired by the techniques of other materials. For the Atelier Pfister Collection 2011 Annette Douglas implemented conventional paper techniques into textile techniques. All curtain fabrics are produced by a majority of textile mills in Switzerland.

The names of the designs refer to localities in the residential cantons of each designer, which also ensures a Swiss identity. The fabrics are named «Höngg», «Ringwil», «Rüschlikon», «Kyburg», «Berg», «Sommerau» and «Weisslingen».
