The Larsen Design Studio has always been known for its innovation. In the 1990s the studio developed a relationship with a promising young designer, Lori Weitzner, to create new textile collections for the company. Working closely with the design studio to fully utilize Larsen’s well-known creative technical expertise, Weitzner developed four collections. The exhibition celebrates this creative interaction as well as highlighting her continuing contributions to the design field.

Today Weitzner is an international leader in the field of contemporary design. She continues to work with textiles and included in this exhibition will be selections from her most resent collection that was inspired by Faberge.
