The brief describes that monomaterials, circularity, transparency and longevity in textile fibres are important to my blind date partner. I have therefore focused on researching wool and polyester, some of the most used fibres for upholstery. But finally I look into hemp as a possible super fibre with a low climate footprint.
All this research has become a book which describes the 3 kinds of fibres wool, polyester and hemp. It is sort of a children´s book full of illustrations but only simple words and explanations to how and where textile fibres are made, how durable they are and how suitable they are for reuse and of cause maalbar´s calculations for their climate impact.
The conclusions of the research and the book has then been made into 3 repeat patterns, inspired by wool, polyester and hemp, suitable for jacquard weaving in the according fibres.
My idea was that the user of the upholstery should be curious of the pattern and its meaning and want to investigate more about fibres.
