Standing Textile(s)
Standing Textile(s)
Standing Textile(s) is an experimental textile research project that laid the foundational groundwork for my 3D weaving methodology.
Originating as a Graduation project at Design Academy Eindhoven (2017), the work was driven by the desire to bring textiles into the interior in an entirely new way.
The result is a growing collection of architectural and interior objects that questions the traditional use of textiles, by consciously exploring the unseen possibilities and inherent value of artisanal production techniques.
Research Philosophy and Methodology
The research behind Standing Textile(s) consciously awards the value of ancient artisanal textile production, transforming it from a decorative element into a structural one.
The project became a manifesto questioning the contemporary use of textiles, pushing the boundaries of what is possible when craft is taken into the third dimension.
By developing a 3D weaving method that allows woven material to hold architectural form, the research successfully challenged the notion of textiles as solely flat or pliable, repositioning them as spatial, functional objects.
This methodology, which has since informed monumental works like Cirrus and Physis, allows the woven structure itself to define the object's form and volume.
