Corkboard Coaster Set By Louise Bourgeois

Louise Bourgeois

Details
This beautiful corkboard coaster set are based on the fabric works of the late Louise Bourgeois and are a stunning match to the placemat set. Fabric played an important role in Bourgeois’s life. She grew up surrounded by the textiles of her parents tapestry restoration workshop, and from the age of twelve helped the business by drawing in the sections of the missing parts that were to be repaired.

A life-long collector of clothes and household items such as tablecloths, napkins and bed linen, from the mid-nineties Bourgeois cut up and re-stitched these, transforming her lived materials into art. Through sewing she attempted to effect psychological repair: “I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.”
