Unfolding Paper
Category: Interior
Unfolding Paper aims to design textiles that contribute to the sensory and atmospheric experience of a space. While traditional architectural materials are often rigid and heavy, textiles offer a contrasting sense of softness, flexibility and lightness. Paper yarn is a characteristic material, and the textiles of the collection all unfold aspects of paper yarn’s properties. In some instances, the inherent stiffness of paper yarn gives the textiles a three-dimensional form or causes them to curl. In other examples, combining paper yarn with fibres like wool results in a new material that blends the qualities of each component. Colours are used to accentuate the movement and textures and evoke emotions. Unfolding Paper highlights the potential for woven paper yarn-based textiles to become engaging spatial elements, enriching architectural environments to become more embracing and nurturing.
