As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but extol the virtues of Ridgewood, Queens-based Lichen, renowned for its exquisite in-house furniture and accessories alongside an impressive inventory from brands such as USM, Knoll, and others. From time to time, they even dabble in fashion, and their latest clothing offering is a robust “Team Lichen” crewneck sweatshirt. This sweatshirt pays homage to one of our team’s beloved chairs – Gaetano Pesce’s Broadway chair, a ’90s icon crafted from vibrant resin and strong steel. Intriguingly, it also commemorates an anecdote connected to the Broadway chairs housed in Lichen’s collection.

The Lichen team shares that the acquisition of their Broadway chairs was a substantial decision as they drained their bank account to take this risk, marking the most money they had ever spent up until that moment. Upon arriving at Justin’s studio to shoot them, one chair unfortunately broke upon being dropped. Initially, it was disheartening, but in a peculiar way, it served as a reminder of the human aspect in our material pursuits.

As a design enthusiast with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for unique and thoughtful aesthetics, I must admit that the crewneck, a collaborative effort between designers Ruth Kim and Joshua P. Mathews, has caught my attention. With its textured print that mimics the tactile quality of the chair’s resin construction, this piece stands out as a testament to the designers’ skillful craftsmanship and innovative approach to design. The simulated screen print with silicon applique adds an intriguing dimension to the garment, creating a visual and tactile experience that is both captivating and engaging.

The fact that the print is strategically placed on the back of the crewneck, directly above Lichen’s address, speaks volumes about the design philosophy behind this piece – a subtle yet intentional nod to the brand’s identity and history. The front of the crewneck remains logo-less, adding an element of mystery and intrigue that further elevates its appeal.

Having spent years immersed in the world of fashion and design, I can appreciate the level of care and thoughtfulness that goes into each step of the creative process. This crewneck is a prime example of the power of collaboration and the beauty that results when designers push boundaries and challenge conventional norms. It’s a piece that transcends traditional notions of fashion, offering a unique and engaging visual experience for those who truly appreciate design in all its forms.

The “Team Lichen” Heavyweight Sweatshirt in the lichen colorway is currently up for grabs on Lichen’s official website and physical store located at 564 Woodward Avenue, Queens, New York, 11385.
