ONE OF A KIND

One of a kind is an experimental research on analog printing techniques resulted in various textile panels for the architectural space. From the interpretation of the visual nature of marble and granite, each pattern evolves from several crafted layers and thus reflects its uniqueness. In a world in which designs are arbitrary and textiles are produced in masses, One of a kind with its hand-carved patterns sets in for a mindful consumption and production.

Hand printed on Cotton Organdy

The pattern was created by five prints. The final layer is an imprint of the print paste which was spread on a sheet. This print technique was developed through experiments. The crips material has a nice touch of classic elegance and creates generouse pleats. Aqua nuances provides privacy while allowing in maximum light. 

Smaland Granite 
Smaland - Sweden

Hand printed textile on Devoré

The grainy and crystalline surface of the beautiful red speckled granite appears like flowers embedded on a mossy forest ground. I used a natural sponge to create this rhythmic dotted surface. The half-transparent Devoré gives the room an airy atmosphere. It filters incoming light and also protects the privacy. 

Paonazetto Marble

Hand printed using water color technique on Cotton Sateen

The fines dark veins running through the pale rose marble are specifique for its appearance. It therefore was important for me to achive cracks which evolves by themself. By breacking casted plaster panells, I got authentique cracks. The blurred lines are created by printing on a wet textile surface. 

Onyx Marble 
Chagai - Pakistan

Hand printed textile on Cotton Sateen

Prized for its exotic and vibrant qualities, Onyx Marble is a beautiful natural stone with a sense of elegance and eye catching. By developping a new print technique of marbling, I achieved to print the classical fluid smooth pattern on cotton textile. Due to the contrarity of the textile's dry grip and the curvy pattern it receives its unique look. 

Unterberger-Hell Marble 
Unterberg - Austria

Hand printed textile on Cotton Sateen

The delicate little dots lend the Unterberger light marble its typical appearance. With the help of spray bottles I reinterpreted its structure on textile. Adhesive tapes can be used to create a variety of patterns. During the production process the classical striped pattern on a medium solid satin creates horizontal curves, an exciting phenomenon of the interplay between material properties.

Composing  
Stone rocks

Sketches of composing the stone patterns into a specifique surface. 

Using photographs of the samples, I tried out different arrangement. My inspiration for the composition was based on my observation of the floor and wall decoration of the Eremitage in St. Petersburg, Torvaldsens and Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. 

My research focus was given to the decorative arrangement of the stones within the different rooms, the ratio of the floor decor to the room, to the ceiling and to the walls, stone size, the proportion of the stone flags and their geometrical shapes and clean lines.
