Austin-based company Twyla has made a name for itself through its unique approach to contemporary art, and its latest project is no exception.

Twyla, whose curators work with world-famous artists to produce limited edition exclusive prints, is making its debut at DIFFA’s Dining by Design in New York City and has partnered with Brooklyn artist

Edward Granger

for a one of a kind experience. DIFFA is an annual event that mixes art with philanthropy, inviting local and international designers to transform a space for its fundraiser supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS.

This year, Twyla’s collaboration with Granger seeks to make the room itself a work of art. Granger, who trained as an architect and is well-known for translating 3D worlds into two-dimensions, has contributed two murals and large-scale artwork, called Mystify the Mind #3. You can clearly see the 3D influence in the installation, which balances minimalism from the modern geometric design with maximalism incorporated through the vibrantly layered hues. A portion of the proceeds from Mystify the Mind #3 (available for purchase on Twyla’s site) will benefit DIFFA.

Twyla is bringing a unique twist to the installation by having Granger paint a new piece during the fundraiser, a live performance of sorts that’s never been done before at DIFFA. Another first involves Twyla’s trade program, launched at DIFFA, which gives member interior designers, architects, and developers benefits including; a 20% discount on Twyla pieces, dedicated account managers, access to top curators, and complimentary rendering services.

Also present in Twyla’s room: a custom-made table and furniture, gorgeous marbleized plates and vases courtesy of Austin-based ceramic designer Eliana Bernard and a modern lighting fixture by Stickbulb.

Whether or not you could make it to the actual showroom, we can all take some serious design inspo from this bright, uber-modern space.
