shifts

Nature has an abundance of fibrous structures. Plant cell walls are made of stiff cellulosic matrix, and their orientation and stiffness in the cell walls is crucial. Studies in biomimicry, textiles and weaving, specifically the tension of a warp and weft structure, was integral to the conception of this project. What manifested is a seemingly rigid structure that has the flexible characteristics of a textile, and the form shifts with the user’s movements.
