Happy Everything Tablecloth

in collaboration with TextielLab, the TextielMuseum‘s professional workshop, 2025
 
 

The Happy Everything tablecloth is an ode to second-hand culture. All fabrics are taken from the domestic sphere, once beloved and meticulously cared for, then donated to a second-hand store where somebody assessed them as worthy of a price tag. The vase shapes and words are extracted from a visual analysis of 75 second-hand vases. While the embroidered words appear random and kitschy, they also represent universal aspirations. Connecting these into a piece of opulence, the Happy Everything tablecloth reveals the subjectivity of value.
