For this Artist Edition, Bigum’s work is translated into form. The surface shifts from canvas to textile, from wall to movement. It allows the work to exist in changing light, in motion, in everyday situations that are rarely considered part of an artwork’s life.

The idea for this work began unexpectedly.
“I saw the actress Patricia Schumann wearing an earlier Sittingsuit, also based on a painting. I stopped her and said: who made that coat? You are a walking painting. I have always made my art to communicate with as many people as possible, without losing anything of the work. When people see this piece, they will step into a light blue space. Inside, swirling flowers with faces create an experience of their own.”

"Eating alfresco is always fun. But not always practical. Which is why i want one of these scandinavian Sittingsuits for the colder months. The apotheosis of comfort."
"Sittingsuits’ wearable blankets are a one-size-fits-all extra layer... With a series of artist collaborations resulting in bold stripes or colourful patterns, consider it a one-stop statement. You may never take it off."
"Virgin Miri has teamed up with Sittingsuit to create a limited edition featuring a custom print, inspired by her unmistakable razorblade pop sound."
“The Sittingsuit is an ingenious, extra layer of protection from chill winds and rain that simply allows you to stay outside longer.”
"Once you have tried the Sittingsuit you will wonder how you ever lived without it. From restaurants to football stadiums and from spas to festivals. The design is simply genius, and you can use it for, well, everything."
"Worth mentioning were Sittingsuits from Denmark, the colorful, windproof and water-repellent padded designs that enhance outdoor experiences!"
