FLEXIBLE FURNITURES
The objective of the project was to explore textiles as a material and techniques beyond its conventional usage. The brief was to develop furniture using textiles and textile techniques.
Textile, as a material, has aesthetic and functional qualities; it is flexible and adaptable to any environment. The project required an understanding of furniture, in terms of form, scale, ergonomics etc. One began with in-depth research and a study on traditional Indian furniture, including durries, kalleen, galeecha and the techniques and skills used to make them.
The concept was developed after analysing information. The flexible properties of textile and its ability to drape or take any form were employed. Weaving technique of double cloth was explored, studying the Sujini craft of Bharuch, which uses double-cloth technique to make quilts and blankets.. This technique helped the product provide comfort and take form, whereas its textile property made it light, flexible and adaptable¬.
