High Tech Three Dimensional Textiles by Aleksandra Gaca

High-Tech-Three-Dimensional-Textiles-by-Aleksandra-Gaca_001

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.

Flake and Flower Textile Room Dividers by Mia Cullin

Flake-and-Flower-Textile-Room-Dividers-by-Mia-Cullin_001

Working as a designer and interior architect in Stockholm, Mia Cullin creates products that possess a hand-crafted aesthetic inspired by the traditional Japanese art of origami. Her Flake and Flower textile collections for Woodnotes utilizes TYVEK, a flashspun high-density polyethylene fiber material, for its strength and tear resistance. Each of the TYVEK pieces are intricately joined together by slipping each through the hole of another; creating an ethereal window treatment or room divider with a compact or a loose relief pattern.

Handmade Dutch Textiles by Claudy Jongstra

Handmade-Dutch-Textiles-by-Claudy-Jongstra_001

Claudy Jongstra is a Dutch textile artist who works with architects and clients around the world to create primitive, yet very sophisticated, handmade textile installations for interiors. Always tactile in nature, her installations improve spatial acoustics while enhancing the aesthetics of the environment; making them softer and more human. Interestingly, Jongstra raises her own sheep in the Dutch countryside, including the rare long-haired Drenthe heath, which enables her to enhance the quality of wool she uses in her projects.
