Exclusive collaboration - Selected projects
I work with international galleries, architects, designers and companies,
my works of art in upscale hotels, stylish company premises
and private residences worldwide.
Tailor-made art in resonance with architecture and design
My work is created at the interface of art, design and architecture. Inspired by the precision and elegance of haute couture, I develop textile wall objects that fit into rooms like tailor-made unique pieces. Each work of art lends the room a distinctive atmosphere and makes the vision and identity of your clients visible.
Presidential Suite | Conrad Hamburg, Levantehaus
For the Presidential Suite of the Conrad Hotel Hamburg in the Levantehaus was created via Minda Dowling Hotel Art Consultants, London, a textile wall installation specially developed for the space by Alla Grande.
Composition, materiality, and relief structure were tailored to the space and its design. The sculptural surface reacts to the incoming light and changes its effect depending on perspective and time of day.
The work was realized as an integral part of the interior design concept and is located in the hotel's presidential suite.

Sculptural Accents – Luxury Hotel | Qatar
About the International Art Consultancy ARTLINK London two sculptural works by Alla Grande were for a Luxury hotel in Qatar acquired.
The works originate from an earlier creative phase and combine relief-like structures with a clear geometric visual language. In interplay with architecture, light, and materials, they develop a three-dimensional presence in the space.
Due to Project confidentiality no further details about the hotel are published. The works were selected for the hospitality project and integrated into the interior concept.

Dimensions in Space - KBAA | Los Angeles
Kevin Barry Art Advisory (KBAA) In Los Angeles, as part of an interior project in the USA, Alla Grande was contacted with an inquiry for two textile wall pieces in the format 90 × 180 cm.
As a reference for the desired artistic direction, works by Alla Grande with clear geometric structures, textile materiality, and sculptural depth served as a basis. The visualization shown illustrates by way of example how works of this kind can have an effect in architectural space.
Due to Project confidentiality no further details about the client or the interior will be published.

Art Meets Function – The Genesis of the Acoustic Art Series
In collaboration with the Acoustic Group developed Alla Grande the Acoustic Art Series - large-format wall objects that combine visual design with functional room acoustics.
The works were created from an acoustically effective composite material whose surface was artistically treated. Geometric structures, relief effects, and various material treatments give the wall objects an independent spatial presence while simultaneously improving the acoustic properties of the room.
The Acoustic Art Series marks an early phase in Alla Grande's engagement with material, structure, and three-dimensionality. Already here, the combination of Art and architecture, which significantly shapes her later work with sculptural wall reliefs.
Client: Acoustic Group
Location: Dormagen, Germany

Geometric Resonances - Art in Dialogue with Architecture | Miami
For a private villa in Miami, Florida, Alla Grande executed three commissioned works based on pieces from her earlier Acoustic Art Series. The geometric compositions were specifically chosen for the space and, in interplay with architecture, light, and materials, form a clear visual accent.
The work was from LANISOR, made of a textile composite material with acoustic properties. The relief-like surfaces combine geometric precision with materiality and spatial effect, entering into a direct dialogue with the minimalist interior of the villa.
The project is part of Alla Granda's international private commissions and shows an earlier phase of her artistic development, in which already Structure, material, and the relationship between art and architecture were at the center.

art edition Light & Shadow - When Architecture Meets Textile Art
In collaboration with the Teba GmbH & Co. KG, a German manufacturer of sun protection and interior design systems, Alla Grande developed the art edition Light & Shadow – a collection of large-format panel curtains at the intersection of art, architecture, and functional interior design.
The concept incorporates natural light as an active design element. Graphic silhouettes, lines, and surfaces change their effect depending on the incidence of light, perspective, and movement within the space. Thus, textile sun protection becomes a transformable component of the architecture, continuously creating new spatial images between surface, light, and shadow.
The cooperation was based on the Textile Fair Frankfurt presented. The collection also developed by Alla Grande for Teba Remember received homesolute Award (1st place).

Chess Kiss - Graphics in dialogue with the textile space
In cooperation with the Swedish label CarpetVista / RugVista developed the carpet collection for Alla Grande Checkmate. The graphic motif combines clear geometric order with a playful, emotional visual language and translates this into the textile space.
The drafts were as Wool rugs in various sizes produced and offered internationally. By changing the scale and format, the original graphic motif evolved into an independent spatial object for various interior situations.
The collection Checkmate was awarded 3rd place in 2015.

ars mundi contemporary – Earlier sculptural work phase
With the inclusion of two unique sculptural pieces from a earlier creative phase was Alla Grande selected for ars mundi Contemporary recorded.
The presented works belong to an earlier phase of her artistic development. At the same time, they document the long-standing engagement with three-dimensionality, material, structure, and perception, which continuously evolved in the following years.
The presentation at ars mundi thus shows an earlier phase in Alla Grande's artistic career and the evolution of her work toward her current sculptural visual language.

Occident meets Orient – Solo Exhibition | Burj Al Arab, Dubai
As part of the project „Occident meets Orient“ presented Alla Grande 2012 a exclusive solo exhibition at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
Three-dimensional relief works from an earlier phase of work were shown, which in one by Alla Grande independently developed technology created. A specially developed concrete mortar mixture was applied layer by layer to canvas with a spatula, sculpturally modeled, and then painted and sealed. This created relief-like, almost stone-like surfaces with a pronounced spatial depth.
This experimental combination of Material, Relief and Painting marks an important milestone in Alla Granda's artistic development and demonstrates her early engagement with three-dimensionality and materiality – long before the development of her current textile wall reliefs.
The solo exhibition was by a own exhibition catalog documented.
