Congratulations to all of the Parson’s MFA Textiles Graduates! We visited the exhibition and celebration for 2023 Graduates called PORTAL. Weaving, knitting, crochet, knotting, embroidery, and basketry seamlessly interface with technology, color, multidimensionality, and biomaterials.

In partnership with Teknion and The Stewart Foundation for Modern Design, Suzanne Tick held a two day symposium with the Canadian A+D community on May 10th and May 11th. Featuring a new talk: Making Materials Matter and a tour of the Stewart Foundation for Modern Design archives at Maison Forget. Tours were also held to view Suzanne’s wire woven sculptures Hooked Up I + II at the Museum of Fine Art Montreal for the exhibition Parall(elles), open now through June 4th, 2023.

You’re invited! I’m excited to announce “The Beauty of Black and White,” our new exhibit debuting May 20th at the NYC @RottetCollection showroom at 29 W. 30th St. 6th Floor for @nycxdesign Festival.

Experience the elegance of black and white, featuring art, furniture, sculpture, and more from @LorettaHowardGallery, @SuzanneTick, Damien Hirst, Gio Ponti, and others.

The Beauty of Black and White
Open House: May 20th to May 25th, 10am to 5pm
Rottet Collection Showroom

See you then!

Comprising five sustainable and super-natural textiles by Suzanne Tick, the Super Natural collection paves the way for more environmentally-conscious performance textiles—emphasizing natural, renewable, domestic, recycled, biodegradable and circular fiber systems wherever possible.

Inspired by our relationship with nature, Super Natural features a palette that finds harmony between the man-made and the organic—balancing warm and cool textures, black and white hues and the softer colors of nature with the more saturated colors of fashion. Combining craftsmanship with the durability of renewable materials, this collection weaves patterns and textures into comfortable, classic, and technical textiles to meet the needs of contract and hospitality spaces. Working in tandem with nature and its organizing powers, we take part of its system, presenting a collection that feels good and does good, too.
