- Sisal, more than a ropeThe concept of this project is to recontextualise sisal, now seen as a rough material, in a more refined fibre. The material is stuck in traditional production and applications (ropes, carpets, etc.), which is why designer Isabella Monaco thought that new production techniques can lead to new uses of sisal.
- Human hair ropeHuman hair is a natural resource which mostly ends up in landfill or slowly decays in the environment. This causes several problems for both the environment and human health, releasing toxic gasses and choking the drainage system. Human hair has a high tensile strength, is thermally insulating, flexible, oil-absorbent and is light weight. And perfect for these ropes.
- Nets & foilsNets manufactured of combination rope (Hercules rope). They consist of a polyester jacket with reinforced steel-strands. The ropes are easy-repairing and the metal parts are galvanized or made of stainless steel.
- BeaufortBeaufort is made out of high tenacity polyester sailing rope. The collection is applicable both Indoor and outdoor. The colours vary from Neon to more serene colours. The strong characteristics of Beaufort combined with its custom made dimensions make the collection suitable for residential, architectural and yachting projects for indoor and outdoor use.
- IsoglasThis textured E-glass is made in a mechanical drawing process, with a defined diameter of 6 - 15 µm. It provides no health risks, as it contains no toxic components. In addition, it has high strength, provides good electrical thermal insulation and is incombustible. The material is available in various shapes, such as yarn, (knitted) rope, and woven fabrics.
- Paola LentiThe Paola Lenti company specializes in modern furniture and flooring and research and experimentation in the textile field.Felt, hand-tufted Area, modular Tessera panels and Aqua in and outdoor collection rugs and furniture, are each inspired by different materials and techniques.
- Palm VeneerTraditionally, every part of the palm tree served a purpose—from providing shade and dates to crafting ropes and mats. This project seeks to reinterpret this historical connection by transforming palm husks into Palm Veneer, a sustainable, contemporary material that highlights the richness of the UAE’s natural resources through innovative and low-tech methods.
- Standing textilesThe strong and sturdy structure gives the suggestion of a solid volume, but the lack of support and hollowness make them seem on the edge of breaking. The volumes are built up, thread by thread, on a custom-made weaving loom.
- VectranVectran is a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP). This fibre has impressive strength and rigidity. Pound for pound, Vectran fibre is five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminium. The material has high strength and modulus, excellent creep resistance, high abrasion resistance, and minimal moisture absorption.
- Natural FibresEnkev makes quality products from natural fibres. Their products are mainly used in the mattress, horticultural, automotive and filter industry. There are however many more possibilities for these fibres in packaging, insulation and in the shoe-industry.
- Bcomp TextileThe most viable structural fibres used in these architectural textiles typically derive from specifically grown textile plants and fruit trees. Natural fibres are subdivided into bast fibres (flax, hemp and kenaf) and leaf fibres (sisal, pineapples and henequen), grass fibres (miscanthus), straw fibres (corn and wheat), seed fibres (cotton and capok), wood fibres (pinewood) and fruit fibres (coconut).
- X-LEDA combination of a stainless steel mesh extended with an LED light module system which can present moving images, animations & video. It allows the medial performance of two dimensional faces into three dimensional moulded bodies.
