Glitch shortlisted for ADA 2023

Excited to be among the shortlisted for the ADA 2023 (Archiproducts Design Awards! The inspiration for this design emanated from triple-medallion Ghashgha’i Gabbehs.‎ Here, the three-medallion and simple all-round border design have been ‘glitched’.‎ The colours are traditional Gabbeh colours accentuated with a contemporary on-trend touch.‎ The upshot is a Gabbeh for the 21st century, that has the mystical aura of traditional gabbehs and exudes light.‎ The term “glitch” itself originates with engineers and astronauts to explain faults within the technology they were working with.‎ But the visual aesthetic can be traced much further back, to the beginning of the 20th century through distorted forms in cubist paintings, abstract short films and pixel-like rug designs akin to 8-bit...

Rinascimento,Winner Creativity Competition

In November 2015 Trevira invited suppliers of Trevira CS fabrics to participate in a creativity competition with their latest developments. Fabrics entered were almost 150 and from these a specialist panel selected 3 fabrics in each of the 5 categories, which received pride of place on the Trevira stand at Heimtextil 2016. In the Rinascimento article the panel sees a successful merging of classic elements with the used look. The fabric impresses as opulent and elegant – like a very traditional material. The baroque pattern, however, is in a state of dissolution; it seems somehow collage-like. The shiny, silky surface contrasts with the ornamental motifs that due to the weave structure seem “worn”. Here too a traditional pattern has been...
