unfolded – a self supporting textile

Description

Unfolded – a self supporting textile experiments with textile constructions and explores the potential of multi-layer fabrics to form self-supporting structures that do not require external support materials or additional seams.

From a two-dimensional, multi-layer jacquard fabric, a three-dimensional body is created through targeted cutting open, turning, and unfolding. The textile form unfolds solely through the tension integrated into the fabric in combination with specific material properties. Econyl, a regenerated polyamide yarn, and nylon are interwoven. This combination combines high stability with flexibility. With the help of this technique, textile forms are created that can be understood as architectural structures – soft, organic, and at the same time space-creating.
