Laundry day
Titel Laundry day
Jaartal 2010
Omschrijving The Daily Pattern is a research project that questions how you can base textile designs on real content. We live in a world that is submerged in a permanent exchange of information. The question is how you can visualise this information and bring it back to its natural environment, the living room or bedroom, without making the patterns sheer infographics or data visualisations. The patterns and designs should still have a certain poetic character, and remain something you want to be surrounded with.

Omschrijving The Burqa Curtain was made when the discussion in the media about forbidding burqas in public was at its height.
