I had the most fun with augmented reality on Jenny Lee‘s stand at the Textile Futures show at Central Saint Martins.
Her design philosophy is to ‘awaken the imagination, this conjure memories and invoke our emotions. Design is a tool to inspire, physician influence change, and to create a better future.’ Wowser…
I was also attracted to Andreea Mandrescu‘s use of traditional marquetry techniques within flexible materials: challenging perceptions of craft disciplines.
Hao-Ni Tsai used Taiwanese fibres in hybrid combinations with natural fibres from the West, giving a contemporary aesthetic to ancient craft.
Over in Industrial Design I liked the work of Jan Rose, who calls himself the Knitting Craftsman so it seems apt that I include him in this blog. Jan Rose knits furniture – this knitted pouf was made from stainless steel thread.
Why not check in with my review of the BA Jewellery graduate show too?
