Here is a striking vintage textile wall sculpture by Susan Caffrey of The Soft Sculpture Studio, likely dating to the 1970s–early 1980s. This large-scale piece showcases layered, curved forms in warm tonal neutrals—tan, cream, rust, and deep brown—creating a bold, architectural composition with a distinctly modernist feel.
Constructed from padded and upholstered textile elements over a rigid backing, the work has a dimensional, almost topographic quality. The interplay of textures—from the nubby woven ground to the soft, suede-like surfaces—adds depth and richness, making it equally compelling as both wall art and functional design element.
Signed on the front and retaining its original studio label on the reverse, this piece embodies the era’s fascination with “soft sculpture,” where fiber art blurred the line between fine art and interior design. At over four feet wide, it would make an exceptional statement as a headboard, wall-mounted focal point, or layered behind a bed or console.
What I love most is how effortlessly it warms up a space—there’s a quiet, earthy sophistication to the palette, but the scale and curves keep it feeling bold and current.
