The Architecture of Cloth, Colour & Space

Fucila Ikat Chair by Ptolemy Mann and Marina Dragomirova

For colour and textile inspiration, visit London's Aram Gallery this spring to see The Architecture of Cloth, Colour and Space, a solo exhibition showing the work of textile artist and designer Ptolemy Mann

The show will focus on Mann's technical skill and emotive use of colour, paying particular attention to the new IKAT collection, which is a collaboration with Marina Dragomirova.
