And we're off again.... Knots. This time in the form of interior designers Alabama Chanin. The brand strives to produce 'well-designed and thoughtfully-made goods for the person and the home'. Although this is there only use for knots (that I have found), I draw great influence. In tutorial we discussed different materials that I could experiment with to create knotted samples, with one example being strips of collected fabrics. I feel that using this material will bring a great tactile and unknown element to the pieces, regarding how the pieces would sit on the body and respond to the construction of knotting techniques. In development I could experiment with different weights of fabrics to see how they differentiate.
