Les Tuiles


LES TUILES by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for Kvadrat.

HINT: Textile bricks system!

"Les Tuiles was conceived as a immersive quilt that erodes the fixed character of common spatial delineators like walls, doors, and passageways. THE SOFT TEXTILE BRICKS form a continuous surface that may be easily reconfigured based on contextual needs. Each unit is a fabric sandwich containing a soft and acoustically absorptive layer of cellular foam and only requires twenty seconds to be machine molded. Doors are conceived as self supporting and mobile modules that can be easily moved."*

Bump


BUMP by Andrea Valentini.

HINT: Durable and resistant sculptural textile.

"Andrea Valentinis Bump material is a sculptural textile made from various fabrics bound to closed cellular foam. The foam is extremely lightweight and durable, imparting sophisticated Bump-clad bags and furnishings with a notable resilience. Bump is also flame retardant and resistant to ultraviolet light, making it even more durable."*
