The Kitsch Deco series combines references from Art Deco architecture and The Memphis Group – an Italian design movement founded in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass. Hannah Dolden explores bright and tactile soft furnishings, using cotton and elastic yarns to experiment with texture, shape and form, through varying stitch techniques and an innovative eye for the smaller details. Dolden’s colour palette has an emphasis on the vivid – bringing together joyful hues in coral, pink, orange and yellow. She references the bold, clashing forms from The Memphis Group, bringing them to a harmonious meeting point through specific knit techniques that tame, emphasise or disrupt the flow of an object. For Dolden, the colour story is integral to the product – how it sits within a space and connects to the user experience.
