Simon Key Bertman has inspiration flowing through his veins; he creates fabrics that are more than simply decorative accents. The dynamic sequences of color, shading and form the designer uses in his textiles reveal a complex line of thought, pulling playful experiments with color and mathematics together into unique textiles. Delving deeply into new dimensions while expanding the room with exquisite visual textures, each of Bertman’s creations add up to much more than just the sum of their fibers.
Textiles are the carriers of the ideas woven into their patterns. Bertman draws inspiration from two of his ancestors, writer and educator Ellen Key and renowned Swedish expressionist Isaac Grünewald. Bertman’s high-quality and dynamically patterned mainly woven textiles bring instant movement to any space and show off the unique processes that led to their design, conceptual dimensions, mathematical sequences, and fascinating play with form and color.
