About the edition

John Booth presents a 100% cotton embroidered sweatshirt, exclusively for House of Voltaire. The artist has worked with master embroiderers to translate a unique artwork into a large eight-colour embroidery, set on a 100% cotton, navy, organic sweater.

This special edition formed part of The Artist's Bedroom by John Booth for House of Voltaire at Matches Fashion, Mayfair.

For this special project, Booth created an immersive installation of his dream teenage bedroom, including a unique hand–painted bed, ceramic side tables, and portrait vases, limited edition woollen floor rugs, printed cushion covers and a screen-printed mirror. All sales support Studio Voltaire's innovative gallery and education programmes.
