TAPESTRY DESIGN PRIZE 2018

Our proposal for the 2018 Tapestry Design Prize for Architects imagines a tapestry which oscillates between the room and the wall, which pushes and pulls against the 2D realm, and which provides a new viewing experience for the visitor. The abstract form suggests something strange but familiar, allowing unseen geometric forces to play with the woven texture. Ever changing with the light of the day and angle of view, the design explores collage, pattern-making and tailoring techniques to achieve the desired voluptuous effect, all rendered in only black and off-black thread.
