Art has never belonged to a single discipline.
It moves freely - between paintings, film, sculpture, sound, and everything in between. In many ways, it resists definition; yet it continues to shape the way we perceive, feel, and make sense of the world around us.
Cashmere, for us, exists beyond material. It is structure, gesture, and surface. A way of translating ideas into form. Each piece carries the same intention as any artwork: to be felt, to be experienced, and to stay with you for years to come.
In this issue, we present to you The March Read: PRC Gallery, a space where these ideas come into focus. We explore the work of artists who move us, and continue to inspire our lives.
Thank you for reading.

Viktor Henderson is a visual artist whose practice often explores the division of images into smaller motifs, each carrying its own presence while remaining part of a wider visual whole. Working frequently in smaller formats, his pieces reward close attention, where detail becomes a language in itself.
We are drawn to the way his motifs interact, distinct yet in harmony, creating a quiet, natural rhythm.

1. What’s something you worked on recently that you’re most proud of?
I recently finished a larger painting that I’m really happy with. Working at that scale is more demanding. It takes time, energy, and decision-making to keep everything balanced. I had to step back from it several times and rework certain areas to get the composition right. For me, finishing something in that format feels like an achievement.
2. What do you have in your wardrobe that you would pass on to the next generation?
I rarely buy new clothes. I tend to stick to my staples. But when I do, I see it as an investment, and I don’t mind paying for quality. With that in mind, I can easily imagine pieces from my wardrobe being passed down to my daughters one day. I’d love to see them wear things like my sweaters or linen jackets.
3. What do you feel like we talk too little about?
That’s a big question. Of course, we should talk more about how to make the world a better place, about ending wars and suffering. But beyond that, I think we don’t talk enough about art. It can feel distant or unapproachable, even highbrow, but it offers so much perspective. I believe that opening up that conversation could lead to something genuinely meaningful.

A Sneak Peak of the Blazer Portrait Finale
Conversations with Anna Stahn
Conversations with Anna Stahn
Over the past four weeks, we have shared The Blazer Portrait series, meeting women who move the world forward in their own way, and on their own terms. Through a series of personal portraits, we have followed them in their own environments, capturing moments of movement, work, and some of their inner thoughts.
We now arrive at the final edition with Anna Stahn, an artist working across installation, drawing, text, and sculpture. Grounded in her own distinct practice, she brings a thoughtful and intuitive presence to her work.

Our team has compiled a top-five list of art pieces in various media forms we want to share with you. This list brings together recent discoveries alongside old favourites and classics that we keep coming back to.
My first piece from Anna Stahn - a beautiful raku vase in some of my favourite colours. I love the surface and the shape.
— Emilie
Love this piece by Kristian Kragelund, a Danish-born artist. He is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with painting and experimental materials, and his work thoughtfully explores how systems, structures, and social frameworks shape daily life. This piece is currently moving between the PRC showroom and my home.
— Caroline
I grew up in a women-dominated household, and that was strongly reflected in the art in our home growing up. This painting by artist Otto Dix, made during the New Objectivity, shows Sylvia von Harden at a time when women were beginning to challenge traditional gender roles, representing a new type of woman in 1920s society who was independent and self-aware. I like that it holds both historical context and space for interpretation, where meaning is shaped by both the artist and myself as the viewer. I connect strongly with the mood; the colour palette gives it a quiet but powerful energy.
— Sarah
An intimate, unconventional portrait of Marc Jacobs, crafted by Sofia Coppola. Sofia Coppola just has that dreamy, effortless vibe I love. The way she captures quiet moments and mood feels so personal, so seeing Marc Jacobs through her lens is going to be something special.
— Caroline
At our PRC office, we have a large cobalt-blue painting extending across a full wall section. It’s a colour that holds both energy and calm in a beautifully balanced way. The richness of the blue feels immersive and grounding at the same time, creating a sense of depth and focus in the space. The deep cobalt tone beautifully reflects who we are at PRC, and lights up our office space.
