Simple, elegant typography set in Xahn Mono and Akkurat exemplify Dorothy Liebes' rigorous modernist approach. Staggered blocks of supergraphic color frame the content—abstracting the textile form on the gallery walls.

The exhibition architecture consists of loom platforms, which evoke a direct connection to textile weaving. These structures create a graphic frame for exhibition objects that immerses visitors in Liebes’ world.

In the entry gallery, we created overhead structures with tensioned paracord that make visitors feel like they are inside a large loom. Along with a super-long work table, the exhibition design recreates the innovative Liebes studio.

Section introductions combine elegant typography with small inset images and colorful shapes, creating graphic moments that draw visitors into key moments in Liebes’ biography.

This standoff graphic panel structure based on the loom concept was designed to conceal an unsightly HVAC vent behind, creating additional surface for exhibition didactics and images.
