The new collection is the result of a collaborative mark-making process led by O’Moray Simmons, Vice President of Commercial Business Design at Tarquet. A former art educator, Simmons has experience guiding designers in technology and concept development, transforming art into products. That process is evident in the collection’s design patterns, created by layering, integrating, and transforming the marks of various team members into something far greater than the sum of its parts.
“In creating this collection, our goal was to celebrate hyper-collaboration through collaborative artwork,” says Simmons. “We set out to do some hands-on research—making marks, spraying and brushing watercolors, stacking papers. We shared our steps, selected each other’s work to blend with ours, and provided feedback along the way.”
