 Finding inspiration in everything from a movie to architecture, Swedish textile designer Camilla Diedrich is challenging conventional ideas of what textiles should be. She is one of the first designers to structure textiles in terms of negative space by cutting holes into them using a laser. This exploration of negative space has led to the incredible transformation of a fabric's flat surfaces into richly-textured, three-dimensional forms. Her most iconic product to date is the BPL Lamp for Rotaliana which is wrapped in the Bubbly textile.

 

 Textiles are normally flat. To transform  them into a three dimensional shape, she use here the ancient japanese dyeing technique shibori.

3D-Tex PES / PP KHF

3D-TEX by Mayser are three-dimensional formed fabrics which have been impregnated with a stabilising resin system. The textiles which are preferably used are knitted fabrics made of polyester, polyamide or cotton. The degree of stability of 3D-TEX can be controlled by the variable resin coats in different based materials ranging from elastic to stiff.

3D-TEX has been especially designed and developed to be used as a flexible core material for the production of sandwich components, and is used for the production of metallic façade systems.

But it can be used in other applications as well. Because 3D-Tex is a highly flexible material it can be used in the designer milieu for the creation of lampshades or for lighting elements in exhibition installations.

FLexible surface by Elijah Porter

 A surface cut out of  repatitive patterns seperated by little gaps and connected by tiny bridges. a yet semi-rigid plane transformed into a flexible surface - folded architecture.
