Sue Ure Maison sees in the New Year at Tate Modern

Sue Ure Maison sees in the New Year at Tate Modern

 

The first major exhibition for 20 years of the great French colourist Pierre Bonnard opens at Tate Modern in January, and Sue Ure Maison has created a new textile collection exclusively for the show.

 

The designer  Sue Ure has created a capsule collection of organic, fair-trade household linen inspired by the artist’s sun-saturated palette and domestic interiors - in particular, his paintings Coffee (1915) and Nude in the Bath (1925).

 

The collection of guest towels, tablecloths, tea towels and throws, hand-woven in Senegal for Sue Ure Maison by the ethical Paris label Diama, is available in two colourways: red ochre, ecru, gold and grey; or cornflower blue, ecru, gold and grey.

 

During the show, a range of slipcast tableware in a matt white glaze from the Sue Ure Maison brand will also be on sale in Tate’s exhibition shop. Prices from £15 for a coffee mug and £25 for a tea towel.

 

This will be the fourth time that Sue Ure, a London-born ceramicist based in south-western France, has collaborated with Tate, having previously produced exclusive hand-thrown tableware for Tate’s landmark shows of Gauguin (2010), Matisse (2014) and Barbara Hepworth (2016).
