Artist Windy Chien is best known for her 2016 work, The Year of Knots, in which she learned a new knot every day for a year. Her work ranges in size from a knot that can fit in the palm of a child's hand to room-sized installations that are sought after by private collectors. Following long careers at Apple and as the owner of legendary music shop Aquarius Records, she launched her studio in 2015.
Select clients include the National Geographic Society, the De Young Museum, the San Francisco MOMA, Nobu, Google, the U.S. Department of State, the Kronos Quartet, and the Kering Group. In 2025, Windy was recognized by the Eames Institute as one of the inaugural Curious 100, and her work has been covered by Wired, The New York Times, and Martha Stewart. Windy’s book about her work was published by Abrams in 2019.
