About House of Quinn

House of Quinn is a multidisciplinary studio, founded by artist and maker Julius Arthur in 2016. Rooted in the intersection of design, craft, and art, the practice is an ongoing exploration of materiality, form, and the everyday objects that shape our spaces. At its core, House of Quinn creates small-batch collections of quilts, textiles, and unique objects for abode and dwelling—objects imbued with a sense of place and function, reflective of our daily rituals, and destined to become part of our personal collections. Drawing upon traditional techniques and fundamental making practices, Julius’s work reveals an intuitive relationship with materials—textiles, paper, collage, print, ink, paint, and sculpture. Inspired by the process of making and the exploration of form, House of Quinn seeks to blur the boundaries between art and function. Quilts, in particular, have become a defining element of the practice, offering a way to explore materiality through the layering of textiles and stitching, while investigating ideas of shape, form, and connection. The idea that objects used bear meaning through their connection with the day-to-day remains central to the practice. Julius is also the author of Modern Quilting: A Contemporary Guide to Quilting by Hand, reflecting his commitment to textiles, making and the art of quilting. Read their story
