HANDWOVEN SLIDING SCREENS
Permeable boundaries, soft divisions.
(1) These newly developed sliding screens function as architectural interventions — adaptable, site-specific, structural weaves that are designed to travel, shift, and reshape space.
(2) Each weave is a study in tactility, with sound-absorption, light-filtering, and thermoregulating some of their qualities.
(3) Deliberately porous, with a weave structure that allows light to pass through, balancing the texture of the banana fibre. Light, but substantial, inviting sensory engagement.
(4) At the heart of these panels is banana fibre. Sourced from the pseudo stem of the banana plant post fruit harvest, it is a byproduct and renewable, and is hand-dyed in the studio. It is then combined with linen from one of Europes oldest mills, silks from India, and Australian wool.
(5) Each piece is customisable. These panels can be tailored in size, materiality, composition and application.
(6) These woven panels offer a flexible alternative to fixed architecture—replacing doors, curtains, cabinet facings, or operating as partitions, sweeping around compact or expansive interiors to reconfigure space with ease.
