Objects of Desire

Object Enigma scarves by Kate MccGwire and Co-Lab 369
Starting from £355
To keep the winter chill at bay, we’re wrapping ourselves up in scarves designed by artists. British sculptor Kate MccGwire takes cues from the rhythms, patterns and cycles of nature in her work to create muscular, writhing forms clad in feathers. For Enigma, her collaboration with Paris-based Co-Lab 369, she has given her sculptures new life as a series of limited-edition scarves. ‘Host’, for example, reimagines her artwork Host II from 2010, a mixed media piece made with pigeon feathers. Crafted in silk, wool and cashmere by artisans in Como, Italy, and made with eco-friendly dyes, the scarves evoke the fluidity of the sculptures and the rich colours of nature. Each piece is made to order, ensuring minimum waste. These wearable artworks will take you from season to season.
