Art & Design 2day explores the intersection between timeless art and modern design. In this issue, we focus on Kazimir Malevich’s The Knife Grinder or Principle of Glittering (1912), an iconic example of Russian Suprematism. Malevich’s abstract depiction of a working man with geometric, fragmented forms challenges traditional representation, offering a revolutionary approach to modern art. With his emphasis on shape, contrast, and movement, Malevich redefined artistic boundaries, presenting an exploration of labor and energy through abstraction.
Kazimir Malevich (1879–1935), a leading figure in Russian avant-garde art, created The Knife Grinder or Principle of Glittering during a period of significant transformation in his work. Painted in oil on canvas, this dynamic composition features a subject—the knife grinder—depicted through angular, fragmented planes that suggest both movement and abstraction. The work is a strong example of Malevich's exploration of geometry, line, and the mechanization of human labor. Kazimir Malevich's The Knife Grinder or Principle of Glittering (1912) is housed in the Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT, USA. This painting is an exemplary piece of Suprematism, showcasing Malevich's exploration of abstract geometric shapes and the notion of purity in art. His work, marked by a rejection of realism and a focus on the expression of fundamental forms and colors, set the foundation for the development of abstract art in the 20th century. The piece represents his innovative approach to form and his bold challenge to traditional artistic conventions.
Inspired by Kazimir Malevich's The Knife Grinder or Principle of Glittering, these art-derived POD products are designed to infuse spaces with striking, modern abstraction. The collection includes microfiber duvet covers, area rugs, outdoor rugs, window curtains, shower curtains, bath mats, and tablecloths, ideal for use in luxury environments like cruise ships, superyachts, luxury hotels, real estate developments, or even private aircraft. Each product combines contemporary art with functional design, making them perfect for enhancing high-end interiors.
Integrating art into design transforms ordinary objects into conversation starters. Our philosophy is simple: art should enrich every aspect of life, offering inspiration in both private and public spaces. Whether you're curating a hotel, outfitting a superyacht, a cruise vessel, an aircraft or adding elegance to your home, our products provide a gateway to living with art.
