T'weave acoustic
The main topic of this project „loom_lab“ was working with the V-loom (created by Sybille Carstens, Casmue GbR). A loom that is especially developed to weave/ knot in 3 dimensional objects or yarns.
As my special topic, I wanted to observe and try out the potential of paper as a textile...
... the prototype model of a noise absorbing room divider called „T‘weave acoustic“ evolved. It is made of special cellulose blocks, that can be knotted together by using the V-loom. The form is inspired by 3 dimensional paper folding techniques.
„T‘weave acoustic“ is designed to be used in offices, common spaces or private households.It‘ s aiming to allow better room acoustic (due to the absorbing effect of cellulose),whilst still letting (sun-)light pass through the empty spaces between the blocks.
The blocks are made of used cotton, old sketching paper and starch glue.The yarn is made of cotton, and follows the fold form of the blocks elegantly, whilst holding it tightly in its structure.The form can be customized, so other materials could also be thinkable.Since the scale of the prototype is rather small, a Clo3D model of the room divider was created, to show its actual size in e.g. working spaces.
