Helen Amy Murray is a London-based textile designer who sculpts floral designs into wools, suedes, and leathers. Her work was originally inspired by the wood and marble carvings she discovered on a research trip to India. Upon returning to London, she experimented with translating these similar sculptural effects into a new medium - textiles. The intricate patterns found in her work are a fusion of her upbringing in the English countryside with her urban city life: drawing inspiration from nature, the city and its architecture.

Palace Yurt was created as a site specific installation at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum by Janice Arnold to demonstrate the link between the historical origins of Felt and contemporary Felt Art though the symbolism of the yurt. Home to Turkic-Mongolian tribes for thousands of years, the yurt is a tent-like, collapsible dwelling, covered with felt. Arnold, renowned for her felt textile work, keeps with traditional Mongolian culture by creating a lavishly decorated yurt that is elaborate in its ornamentation and design.

Aleksandra Gaca is a textile designer from the Netherlands whose fascination with three dimensional weave structures has led to the creation of unique acoustical textiles. For inspiration she draws from the structure and repetition found in architecture as well as from more dynamic concepts such as dance, drama and movement. Aleksandra's broad use of materials, from soft mohairs to super strong monofilaments, make her high tech fabrics particularly qualified for wall covering, partitions or screens within architectural spaces.

Ideally located in Sauðárkrókur, a small community on Iceland's north coast, Atlantic Leather trims and sews fish skins together to create large-scale leather panels for interiors. Best described as elegant and refined, salmon leather is thin and pliable with scales that follow a delicate, repeated pattern; with the most noticeable feature being the narrow band that runs along the center of the hides. Salmon leather panels are offered in parallel, triangle and natural fish patterns and in some amazing colors, textures and surface treatments.

Finding inspiration in everything from a movie to architecture, Swedish textile designer Camilla Diedrich is challenging conventional ideas of what textiles should be. She is one of the first designers to structure textiles in terms of negative space by cutting holes into them using a laser. This exploration of negative space has led to the incredible transformation of a fabric's flat surfaces into richly-textured, three-dimensional forms. Her most iconic product to date is the BPL Lamp for Rotaliana which is wrapped in the Bubbly textile.
