Cleon Peterson and Modernica Launch 'The Divide Collection'

With all profits to support the artist and his family as they rebuild following the devastating fires in California.

0 Comments

Acclaimed artist Cleon Peterson has partnered with Modernica for a new collaboration, The Divide Collection, created in response to the devastating loss of his home in the Eaton Fire in Altadena, California this past January. The collection, designed to support Peterson and his family, transforms destruction into an artistic statement.

This limited-edition series features nine Upholstered Side Shells on Eiffel Tower Bases and an Upholstered Arm Shell Rocker, each hand-signed by Peterson. Staying true to his signature style, the designs use stark black-and-white contrasts to symbolize the tension between despair and resilience.

“The stark contrast of black and white in these designs represents the space between despair and resilience, between destruction and creation,” Peterson shared. “Even in destruction, there is the possibility of transformation.”

All profits from The Divide Collection will directly support Peterson and his family as they rebuild. The collection launches on March 20 exclusively on Modernica’s official site.
