Modus10 x FBG x Urban Fabric

During BDNY 2022, we paired up with our friends at Modus10 to present Urban Fabric Rugs at their New York City showroom. The exhibition featured a collection of Urban Fabric’s Signature Collection, as well as some collaborative pieces created with artists, John Monteith and Elena Manferdini.

John Monteith
Born in Toronto, Canada, artist/photographer John Monteith graduated with a Masters in Fine Art from Parsons, the New School for Design (2008), and his BFA at The Ontario College of Art and Design University (1997). Based on recent drawings from his “Resonances” series these rugs were created in response to the architecture of various relational sites of social exchange that make up the urban environment.

Elena Manferdini
Principal and owner of Atelier Manferdini, currently teaches at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and is the Graduate Programs Chair. This limited edition collection of hand made area rugs is an adaptation of Manferdini’s drawings and images from her body of work entitled “Building Portraits”.
