Catherine Martin Catherine Martin has had a very interesting relationship with the concept of home. A ‘gypsy’ for most of her adult life, after having two children she started to develop a need for a ‘home’ as a centre for her life. Her couch has been covered in hemp fabric, a green fiber and an extremely strong one; it will survive just about anything. Catherine loves the combination of casual luxury that at the same time is practical. The cover can be taken off her couch and thrown in the washing machine… things should be both functional and beautiful. Catherine hopes that this take on the KLIPPAN will have a strong, quiet elegance in it’s new home. Two-time Academy Award winner Catherine Martin is globally renowned for her production and costume design. Her unique approach to design is featured in Baz Luhrmann’s films Moulin Rouge!, Strictly Ballroom and Romeo+Juliet, as well as operas such as Luhrmann’s La Boheme on Broadway, for which she won a Tony Award.
