HICKORY, N.C.—Explore “Moments of Wander” with HBF Textiles through the eyes of Christiane Müller as she looks to her own travels, highlighting the beauty and diversity that surrounds us, zooming in and out to see the scenery through different lenses. As an expert in woven textiles and color, Müller launches a collection of three indoor outdoor fabrics that capture fleeting moments in her environment, using natural details to create outdoor approved textiles that are tough but still retain indoor woven qualities.
“My starting point for ‘Moments of Wander’ was my long-standing fascination with the myriad structures and colors I encounter in nature,” shares Müller, designer and partner in the Amsterdam-based interior architecture firm MüllerVanTol. “Over time, I’ve built up an archive of sorts: albums full of nature photos and a library of pocketed keepsakes—pebbles from the beach, seashells washed ashore—that continuously inspire my creative process in designing fabrics. The collection brings precious moments from my wanderings in the outside world, indoors.”
“Moments of Wander” marks Müller’s fourth collection with HBF Textiles, building upon 16 years of collaboration. What truly sets “Moments of Wander” apart is its ability to evoke emotions and memories, reconnecting us with nature even within the confines of our interior spaces. The three designs reflect Müller’s desire to recreate this nurturing feeling in both interior and exterior spaces. Each explores the natural world in its own unique way, from the panoramas of Fields of Velvet to the landscapes of Trails of Tweed to the biodiversity of meadows in Seeds of Color, inviting us to stop and admire their beauty while humbly reminding us of nature’s magnitude, fragility, and universal language.
Commitment to Artistry Highlighted
The trio is an ode to the ephemeral, cyclical nature of the world—and to nature’s perseverance—its constant reinvention. The tactility shares the same randomness, serendipity, and order found in nature, capturing fleeting moments of the ever-changing environment, like the weathering of stones or an overgrown garden. Moments of Wander not only showcases Christiane Müller’s creative vision but also highlights HBF Textiles’ commitment to artistry, quality, and innovation. Each fabric is skillfully crafted by talented artisans, seamlessly blending Müller’s expertise in material solutions and textiles design with human creativity. The result is a collection that is not only visually captivating but also narrates the harmonious connection between nature, design and impactful materials.
