Over the past twenty years, Calle Henzel has translated his artistic practice as painter and collage artist into the medium of textiles, positioning Henzel Studio as one of the most progressive luxury rug brands in the world. While remaining at the forefront of design, Henzel Studio’s foundation lies in the artisanal production of local communities in Nepal and India that dates back thousands of years.

To expand on this practice, HENZEL STUDIO: COLLABORATIONS / HERITAGE was conceived as a continuous initiative curated by Joakim Andreasson, inviting some of the most prominent contemporary artists of our time to freely and seamlessly translate their work through an alternate media and the extraordinary practices that are involved in the making of Henzel Studio’s rugs.

Through this program, Calle Henzel has collaborated with some of the most prominent names in contemporary art, including Nan Goldin, Richard Prince, Juergen Teller, Marilyn Minter, Jack Pierson, Helmut Lang, and the estates of Andy Warhol and Tom of Finland.
