Art and function meet again in our latest collaboration with Özlem Thompson.
Sittingsuits presents WHITE LOTUS, the third Artist Edition created with British Turkish artist Özlem Thompson. This edition began during her reading of The Brothers Karamazov, where themes of existence and quiet introspection informed the artwork. The collaboration continues our shared interest in bringing contemporary art into functional formats where design, comfort and creative expression meet.
WHITE LOTUS has been translated into a limited edition Sittingsuit produced in 200 pieces worldwide. This release follows two earlier collaborations with Thompson and strengthens her role within the Sittingsuits Artist Edition series.

Özlem Thompson works from an artistic foundation shaped by science and intuition. Before dedicating herself fully to painting she studied biology and botany. These fields continue to influence her approach to form, structure and visual rhythm. Organic shapes, natural symbolism and abstracted ecosystems appear throughout her work.

Her studio is located in Belsize Park, London in the same building once used by Mondrian. The setting reflects her practice. Color, movement and quiet focus shape each piece. Her influences span expressionism and surrealism and her visual language remains distinctly her own with bold, organic and clear compositions.
Thompson’s work has been shown internationally and is held in private collections worldwide. She has contributed to public and cultural projects including the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II. Her pieces are collected by performers, creatives and art focused audiences around the world.

ÖZLEM THOMPSON / WHITE LOTUS
WHITE LOTUS er vores tredje samarbejde med den britisk-tyrkiske kunstner Özlem Thompson. Hendes arbejde er forankret i maleri og stærkt præget af hendes baggrund inden for biologi og botanik.
Til denne Artist Edition arbejder hun igen med organiske former og rene kompositioner, som kendetegner hendes stil. Under læsningen af The Brothers Karamazov fandt hun en følelse af undren og mening, som formede værket: En centreret blomst, der rummer klarhed, ro og fornyelse.
En limited Artist Edition skabt i vores fortsatte samarbejde med Özlem Thompson.
Produceret i begrænset oplag af 200 stk.

"Eating alfresco is always fun. But not always practical. Which is why i want one of these scandinavian Sittingsuits for the colder months. The apotheosis of comfort."
"Sittingsuits’ wearable blankets are a one-size-fits-all extra layer... With a series of artist collaborations resulting in bold stripes or colourful patterns, consider it a one-stop statement. You may never take it off."
"Virgin Miri has teamed up with Sittingsuit to create a limited edition featuring a custom print, inspired by her unmistakable razorblade pop sound."
“The Sittingsuit is an ingenious, extra layer of protection from chill winds and rain that simply allows you to stay outside longer.”
"Once you have tried the Sittingsuit you will wonder how you ever lived without it. From restaurants to football stadiums and from spas to festivals. The design is simply genius, and you can use it for, well, everything."
"Worth mentioning were Sittingsuits from Denmark, the colorful, windproof and water-repellent padded designs that enhance outdoor experiences!"
