“Cool Stuff”

“I love how people interpret Los Angeles in different ways. Designer Nicki Voss took a photo of the city from Griffith Park and transformed it into a quilt. ‘I’m interested in translating our experience of the outdoors into tangible indoor objects,’ Voss said in an email. ‘How do we derive comfort from the outdoors? And specifically, can that feeling be captured in a quilt?’ Voss made the quilt from 385 individually cut pieces of 100% prewashed cotton fabric. The 13 colors in the quilt, which measures 49 by 61 inches, reflect the tones in the original photograph. There is just one ‘Downtown Los Angeles Quilt’ for sale ($1,800). Voss is working on a new quilt based on a view from Mulholland Drive, looking into the San Fernando Valley at dusk, ‘made up of many tiny pieces of fabric, like the nighttime lights of the Valley below.’ Find more of Voss’ ‘landscapes of cloth’ at Textilepop.”
