COLLECTION

Milan (2010 - 2025)

The Milan (2010 – 2025) collection brings together hand-knotted rugs by Calle Henzel with works from the Henzel Studio Collaborations program, all of which have been exhibited in conjunction with MiArt and Salone del Mobile in Milan. Alongside Henzel’s designs, the collection includes collaborations with Helmut Lang, Mickalene Thomas, John Waters, and Anselm Reyle, among others. Developed through a shared process, these works preserve each artist’s essence while blurring the boundaries between fine art and functional design.
