MFA  INTERIOR  DESIGN  

WEEK  THIRTEEN:  TEXTILES  &  FIBERS  

Page 2: Textile & Fibers, week 13

Gina  is  a  concept  car  developed  by  BMW  in  2008.  This  car's  body  is  made  of  specially  manufactured  fabric.  This  idea  is  very  innovaNve  in  a  way  of  rethinking  against  the  tradiNonal  stereotypes  about  vehicle's  body  material.  Historically,  car  designers  believed  that  the  body  should  be  hard  for  the  driver's  and  passengers'  safety  issues  but  gradually  with  the  development  of  the  newer  materials  and  research  on  shock  absorpNon,  it  has  been  changed  to  lighter,  more  flexible  and  soUer  materials.  In  Gina,  the  covering  of  the  vehicle  does  not  have  any  funcNon  of  protecNon.  It  only  has  an  aerodynamic  performance.  What  is  most  interesNng  in  Gina  is  that  this  car  has  changed  the  fixed  idea  passed  on  tradiNonally,  which  we  could  not  easily  give  up.    *lighter  weight=beYer  performance=beYer  fuel  economy  *easier  to  assemble=lower  cost  Gina  designer:  Chris  Bangle's  presentaNon

What  I  like  of  this  work  of  arNst  Rósa  Sigrún  Jónsdó^r  is  the  parallel  between  the  texNle  network  of  fibers  and  the  network  of  cells  that  forms  organic  Nssues.

In  this  week's  topic  I  could  not  but  select  one  of  my  favorite  series  of  texNle  designs  out  there    and  show  my  respect  to  one  of  the  most  inspired  fashion  designer  ever  to  exist.  I  believe  that  texNles  are  a  very  important  part  of  our  surroundings  mostly  because  of  their    nature  which  allows  them  to  interact  in  a  more  inNmate  level  with  the  environment  they  are  in.    They  are  also  very  important  to  us  because  they  have  been  something  like  our  shell  from  the  day  we  where  born  making  them  a  criNcal  part  of  our  life!  I  admire  the  last  work  of  Alexander  McQeen  Spring  /Summer  2010  because  it  pushes  the  idea    of  texNles  to  the  limit.  I  know  that  it  is  said  that  there  is  noNng  that  can  imitate  the  raw  beauty  of  nature    but  these  fabrics  certainly  make  this  statement  quesNonable  the  least!

•  This  is  a  concept  car  presented  by  BMW  (now  a  few  years  old)  that  looks  specifically  at  the  skin  of  the  car,  and  the  flexibility  that  this  can  posses.  The  GINA  replaces  the  tradiNonal  metal/plasNc  skin  with  a  texNle  fabric  skin  that’s  pulled  taut  around  a  frame  of  metal  and  carbon  fiber  wires,  allowing  the  overall  shape  of  the  car  to  change.

•  The  first  image  with  the  red  shoelaces  is  an  arNst's  idea  of  using  stainless  steel  and  recycled  shoelaces.    The  second  image  is  for  a  promo  ad  for  converse  using  converse  shoelaces  to  construct  the  chair.    

I  chose  both  of  these  images  because  it  shows  how  everyday  items  can  be  used  in  pracNcal  uses  for  furniture.    These  chairs  remind  me  of  the  outdoor  rope  lounge  chairs.

•  Low  budget  apartment  building  in  Slovenia  (2003-­‐05)  •  "The  main  funcNon  of  the  façade  is  to  protect  the  loggias  from  the  sun.  To  offer  nice  views  towards  the  sea  even  when  the  

blinds  are  closed,  the  project  proposed  semi-­‐transparent  angled  texNle  shadings.  These  cover  loggias  as  sun-­‐roof  and  curtain  at  the  same  Nme.  The  changing  rhythm  of  balconies  creates  dynamic  elevaNons  and  offers  privacy  to  the  neighbouring  owners.  sustainability  issues:  Balcony  modules  are  designed  as  efficient  system  providing  shading  and  venNlaNon  for  the  apartments.  TexNle  elements  fixed  on  the  front  of  the  balconies  block  direct  sunlight  and  accumulate  "air  buffer"  zone.  In  the  summer  hot  accumulated  area  behind  the  shadings  is  naturally  venNlated  through  (10  cm  holes)  perforated  side  parNNons  of  the  balconies.  In  the  winter  the  warm  air  stays  in  the  area  and  provides  addiNonal  heaNng  to  the  apartments."  (Ofis  website)

•  Nanimaquina,  a  sustainable  texNles  manufacturer,  and  designer  Tord  Boontje  teamed  up  to  produce  LiYle  Field  of  Flowers  rug  design.    The  original  paYern  was  sparked  when  flowery  designs  came  into  fashion  and  evolved  into  a  series  of  prototypes  using  hand  kno^ng  a  tradiNonal  rug  technique.  Boontje  unhappy  with  the  resulNng  samples  lack  of  texture  and  movement  in  the  sample  altered  the  manufacturing  technique  to  Die  Cu^ng.  The  flower  shapes  are  die-­‐cut  into  felt  and  woven  into  a  thick  woolen  carpet.    The  weaving  of  the  pieces  takes  a  seven  hour  work  day  to  complete.

•  EsN  Barnes's  carpet  said  to  be  inspired  by  a  crumpled  sheet  of  paper.It  is  a  playful  visual  combinaNon  with  the  different  types  of  texNle  techniques,    

•  it's  a  tuUed  carpet  that  recalls  folding,  creasing,  and  weaving.

•  Tulips  The  large  windows  that  open  into  the  enclosed  with  a  view  of  the  back  of  the  old  building  can  be  covered  with  2  curtains  designed  by  Petra  Blaisse  –  Inside  Outside  :  a  transparent  voile  or  a  white  velour  darkening  curtain.  

•  Both  curtains  are  (digitally)  printed  with  enormous  black  &  white  tulips.  The  print  on  the  lining  of  the  darkening  curtain  is  the  negaNve  of  the  black  tulips  on  the  white  voile.  When  the  darkening  curtain  is  drawn  during  dayNme,  the  white  tulips  appear  illuminated  on  the  velour.

•  This  image  shows  a  hanged  large  mulNcolor  texNle,  that  creates  hammocks  as  a  lounging  area,  I  could  not  find  any  informaNon  about  where  it  is  or  who  designed  it!
