Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

French designers, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec never cease to amaze. These fabric tiles created for kvadrat, are simply genius, good to dress up walls or ceilings. Held together with rubber bands, they can be rearranged constantly. Also available in multi colours.



Looks like pencil shavings.

Nendo

One of our favourites this year from the Milan fair has got to be lighting fixture 'blown-fabric', by nendo.

Nendo uses a specialised long-fibre non-woven polyester material, Smash, which can be manipulated into different forms through hot press forming technology. In a process much like blown glass, the material is shaped into a seamless one-piece lantern. The lack of control in the process, allows each fixture to take a unique form as heat is added and pressurized air blown into it. As in glass-blowing, the designers can intervene during the production of each piece, resulting in a collection of objects that is infinitely varied with imperfections.



"blown-fabric" forms part of the Tokyo Fibre '09 Senseware exhibition, an exhibition intended to convey the possibilities of new materials developed with Japanese synthetic fibre technology.
