The North Face Taps Johannes Offerhaus for Outdoor Sculpture

by

Summary

  • The North Face and Johannes Offerhaus debut the HKe collection with a sculpture made from SPECTRA® fabric
  • The project highlights exploration, sustainability and the link between art and the outdoors

The North Face recently launched the HKe collection, a collaboration with artist and designer Johannes Offerhaus. A key part of the launch involved a sculpture made from the collection’s new SPECTRA® fabric. Offerhaus and his team hiked the sculpture to a secluded location, and then carefully carried everything back out, ensuring the environment remained undisturbed.

As a big fan, I’m really impressed with this new collection! It seems like The North Face has perfectly blended high performance with a real commitment to the environment. Pieces like the Devils Thumb GTX Jacket and the Kalix Down Hoodie look super durable for outdoor adventures, but also have a really stylish, clean design. The prices are pretty reasonable, ranging from $150 to $550, and you can find everything on The North Face website or at certain stores now.

This partnership highlights the lifecycle of materials – from their creation to their eventual disposal. It positions outdoor clothing as more than just functional gear, showing how art and design can inspire innovative and sustainable practices.
