Wall hanging "La tour de Jeanne"

An architectural textile artwork inspired by the majestic Jeanne Gang's St. Regis Tower.

La tour de Jeanne (Jeanne's tower)

This unique wall quilt celebrates Chicago's iconic architecture through a textile composition inspired by the St. Regis Tower (also known as the Wanda Vista Tower). Designed by renowned American architect Jeanne Gang, the first woman to design the world's tallest structure, this tower was captured during a journey and reinterpreted in textile.

The work combines appliqué technique and improvised hand quilting that winds through the composition like a continuous line, evoking the movement and fluidity of modern architecture. The deliberately raw textile edges create a dynamic texture and add a tactile dimension to the piece.

Rediscover Chicago's exceptional architecture through this textile interpretation that will bring character and originality to your interior.
