Smart Textiles Design Lab project for Borås Kongress / Smart Textiles Showroom
Weave design: Kathryn Walters
Print design: Tonje Kristensen Johnstone
With: Delia Dumitrescu, Marjan Kooroshnia, Hanna Landin, Erin Lewis
The translucent curtains were developed to showcase Smart Textiles in Borås, while connecting to the history of the Borås Kongress. An additional curtain, printed with photochromatic inks, which colourise when exposed to UV light, was produced for the Smart Textiles Showroom.
Exploring the colour-generating potential of a limited number of wefts. A simple motif was manipulated to develop small, medium and large patterns. The patterns were used to produce three reversible fabrics, using the same three weft colours on a black and white warp.
