The starting point for the production of every silk ribbon is always a design by an artist. This design outlines the ornamentation and color scheme of the ribbon and thus forms the basis for the subsequent planning of the fabric. The designers were able to realize their own ideas or were commissioned by the patron to copy ribbon decorations from other companies. However, these artists usually remained unnamed, as their works went into the company archives without a signature. The event shows a selection of these designs by known and unknown artists and their realization as woven ribbons. The subjects, materials and weaving techniques will be presented and the biographies of the artists will be examined in more detail.
