Description:
International Textile Design provides an overview of the best new designs from both large and small manufacturers and offers examples from fashion, furnishing, and rug and carpet designs, both handmade and machine-produced. Featuring more than 250 full-color photographs, this stunning display brings you the entire world of contemporary creativity and craftsmanship in moving, unforgettable images. You will marvel at the exquisite creations of limited-edition and one-off textile artists such as Junichi Arai, Hiroshi Awatsuji, Teresa Pla, and Grethe Wittrock. You'll also find an array of beautiful designs from larger-scale manufacturers such as Kvadrat, Marieta, Timney-Fowler, Sahco-Hesslein, and Knoll Textiles. In her introductory essay, Mary Schoeser examines new developments and trends that are currently transforming the textile industry. She assesses the impact of computer-aided design and manufacturing systems, and explores the blurring of distinctions between fashion and furnishing fabrics. Each subsequent chapter focuses on a particular aspect of contemporary textile design, from the current popularity of natural imagery and the emphasis on ecologically sound materials, to new fiber and fabric treatments and the range of textiles used as vehicles for self-expression. A chapter devoted to student work highlights the talents emerging from textile courses.
