After founding and running the Peter Pilotto brand for 14 years Christopher De Vos Caballero and Peter Pilotto decided to pause the brand and rethink what a creative business that suits their personal needs and creative interest should look like going forward.
Following a year of travelling through Latin America, reconnecting with Christopher's roots and upbringing (half Peruvian half Belgian) a new concept for a studio and brand was developed and worked on for the past two years.
Phase 2 of the collaboration between De Vos Caballero and Pilotto is a search for the conviviality between fashion and interiors.
Central are questions of what should be prioritised in terms of being inspired and expression of self, the clothing we wear or the spaces we inhabit.
The idea is to find a synergy between the two in search for answers such as sustainability, longevity and authenticity.
Having nature as a central source of inspiration the designers followed the collection of Christopher’s Belgian Grandfather who was a topographer and collector of minerals.
In the exhibition at Brompton Design District, there will be a range of items whose motives are inspired by mineral motives such as malachite, pyrite and black opals.
The showcased pieces include hand knotted rugs - made in Nepal, Jacquard-loom weaves from Italy for upholstery, hand painted and lacquered furniture - made in England, embroidered velvets for screens and soft furnishings, and digitally printed lamp elements and loungewear inspired throws and clothing for both men and women.
This exhibition is presented as part of Brompton Design District.
