Silicone

by Laura van der Spoel · Netherlands · PLA1204 · Published 15 Feb 2019
About this material

This sample is made of an organza fabric in combination with silicone. By creating a pattern in the silicone, designer Laura van der Spoel tried to emphasise the shine in the iridescent material, because one perceives it differently in the different planes. Should one look at the sample from the front, it is transparent without colour and the pattern is difficult to perceive. However, when viewed from the side, the iridescent fabric will light up in the pattern of the silicone. This observation gives the sample something magical, because when the sample is in movement, one continuously sees a different colour shining.
