TEXTILES BY ANNA ZAHARAAKOS & STUDIO Z — December 4, 2008 - January 31, 2009
Anna Zaharakos started her career in industrial design at Steelcase Inc. After five years working in both industrial and materials design, she formed a
partnership with German industrial designer, Wolfgang Mueller Deisig and began the textile aspect of her business, developing contract textiles for Woolrich, Mastercraft,
Guilford of Maine, and Intek. In 1988 she founded Studio Z, a local textile design company.
While known for her beautiful classic contract textiles, Zaharakos also wants to be known for her innovative product development using textiles in different ways. Inspired
by everything from dance to photography, she continually explores new outlets for her own creativity.
The Design Gallery at Design Quest is pleased to feature the works of Anna Zaharakos and her team at Studio Z. Featured pieces include large, woven art pieces that
imitate the mystery and mood of the original black and white photographs taken by her father in Europe after the second world war. Also featured: charming woven bags and shag
rugs created from recycled mill scraps.
