In
1988 the Victoria and Albert Museum in London staged a retrospective
exhibition of Kaffe's work. He was the first living
textile designer to have a show there. The exhibition
brought together work from across his range: paintings, tapestry,
knitwear, wallpapers, fabrics and various aspects of his graphic
design. Since then the range has expanded to include ceramics,
mosaics, quilts, printed fabrics and bed linen.
Fassett's
designs have a wonderful glow, thanks to his
subtle graduations of color. They are
bolder, more original and simply a lot more
fun than anything else on the market.

Kaffe may be known for his crafts but he has always been involved
in a much wider world. His hungry eye restlessly searches for
ideas that can be transposed from one medium to another and
it was some 19th century French wallpapers which prompted him
to start stitching the Limited Edition needlepoint kit Jungle
Sunrise.
