Aline Brun · Atelier Brun · Switzerland

Aline Brun is a textile maker based in Sursee, Lucerne. For over two decades, her atelier has worked at the intersection of traditional craft and contemporary living — designing, sewing, and installing textiles that do not decorate space but define it. Her practice is built on a conviction shared across generations of her family workshop: that a textile carries character, and that character must be respected.

For What Remains, Aline Brun undertakes the reupholstering of a vintage Minotti sofa — sourced and curated by VV Interior Home — using an antique linen of approximately one hundred years of age. A textile that has already lived. Already inhabited rooms, absorbed light, carried the weight of time in its fibres. Rather than replacing this history, Brun works with it: the hand that sews is in conversation with the hand that once wove.

The sofa anchors the exhibition space not as furniture, but as an invitation. To sit. To pause. To allow the works around it — ceramic, wax, stone, pigment — to be felt rather than only seen.

In an exhibition about what remains, it is perhaps the most eloquent object of all.

The exhibition space at The mep is anchored by two travertine cubes and a conical stone pedestal — objects from the VV Interior Home collection that serve not as furniture but as sculptural elements in dialogue with the ceramic works placed upon them. Stone holding fired clay. Geological time holding the time of making.

A sofa reupholstered in one-hundred-year-old linen completes the space — a textile that survived a century, carrying in its fibres the time of those who wove it and the spaces it inhabited. In an exhibition about what remains, it is perhaps the most eloquent object of all.
