FMP Post 2 Research and inspiration

Since the main idea for this project is still based around the idea of structures relating back to the derelict school, I have had to research various design which can also inspire me for my contextual designs...
I have found Pinterest to be extremely helpful for finding designs in this particular category. Stephane Roland's work especially has been incredibly inspiring in the way the fashion sculptures are so well created...



I have been inspired to create designs for fabric which build their own structure and can take on many different forms. And So I have found two other textile designers who think about a similar aspect of adding on arranged structure to them be applied to new ones...


Mika Barr is the designer of this wonderful piece of textiles. She has found an innovative way of using a simple triangle shape which is applied to the fabric using a strong puff binder paste which hardens to then allow the relaxed fabric to be able to move freely but only in the structured spaces available, allowing the fabric again to take on different forms when moved in different directions. Noticeably all the triangles are exactly the same shape and size which perhaps she signs of creating control to these forms.

Much similarly with the "Wooden Carpet" created by Elisa Strozyk, she uses a pattern created up of many wood pieces which are of the same size and shape in a repeated pattern to produce again a sense of controlled manipulation to the fabric...
