We’re pleased to present, in collaboration with Kalkeriet Contemporary, a limited-edition capsule collection by French artist Claude Guillaumin (b. 1946) that explores the intersection of photography, materiality, and applied form.

Atelier Bowy C.D. is a curatorial space within Henzel Studio, where parallel practices converge through experimental, contemplative, and process-driven design. Dedicated to creating contemporary handmade rugs, the atelier moves fluidly between tradition and innovation. Each piece is approached as a site-specific work, merging artisanal techniques with a refined, modern language—reflecting the sensibility of a curatorial studio.

(ABCD) is shaped by the artistic direction of Calle Henzel — creative director of Henzel Studio and co-curator of Kalkeriet Contemporary’s exhibitions. Over the past two decades, Henzel has collaborated with more than 40 international blue-chip artists — including Nan Goldin, Richard Prince, Mickalene Thomas, and Anselm Reyle — as well as institutions such as The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

While Henzel Studio is celebrated for its artist-led collections and Calle Henzel’s signature series, Atelier Bowy C.D. charts a complementary path, prioritizing material research and design-led composition. Each rug is conceived as a site-specific work, merging artisanal techniques with contemporary sensibilities.

Through collaborations with fine art photographers, designers, architects, and other influential voices in contemporary culture, the atelier serves both as a platform for Henzel’s ongoing experimentation and as a space for in-house, contemplative design.
