There’s no going back and forth about this: ZigZagZurich’s new Artist Terry Beach Towel Collection is a must-have for your next summer outing. These 100% cotton towels feature graphic patterns and designs by five talented artists: Neil Keating, Marc David Spengler, Liz Collins, Marlene Dallas, and Laura Schor. Unlike art that can only be admired on walls, these artist-designed towels are durable enough for the beach yet soft for cozying up after a swim.
Liverpool-based graphic artist Neil Keating is inspired by pop culture and has created works in collaboration with streetwear brands, local musicians, and industry titans like Nissan, Playstation, Dr Martens, Adidas Superstar, and more. His design, History of House, is a nod to the music scene and the evolution of music genres, including Chicago House, Detroit Techno, New York disco, and the origins of Black and Latin LGBT+ music.
Marc David Spengler, a visual artist and illustrator who hails from Stuttgart, Germany, is known for his abstract and colorful compositions inspired by graffiti culture. For ZigZagZurich’s Sandbanks, he takes us to the shores of Ile d’Oleron in France where the vibrant beach huts painted by their owners create an artful scene.
Brooklyn-based artist and designer Liz Collins shows us that what’s Cracked can also be beautiful and unique. Inspired by the fractures of a broken mirror, she transformed this spontaneous pattern into a drawing, embroidery, and now a textile pattern.
Marlene Dallas’ unique expression of shapes, structures, and lines is showcased in the Sauvage towel design. This exploration of lines, strokes, and pathways is full of movement and energy.
Swiping left or right has become a modern day expression of choosing what you like. Laura Schor, a Swiss textile designer with a love for designing interiors, celebrates her love of color with the Swipe design.
