From Landscape to Room

For the project »From Landscape to Room«, locally-grown materials were used for experimental approaches to design. Through experimentation with material techniques in novel combinations, the project creates both an aesthetic, and a tangible, connection between local landscapes and interior design.
The result is a double-weave made of coarse wool from Biesenthal, and cattail (typha) leaves from Greifswald. The designed object is not only a sculptural, acoustic element in space, but its modules can also be removed and independently used as seat cushions.
The surface is especially important: The natural color of the typha leaves is deliberately combined with an accent colour of red wool, dyed with madder. Different weave structures make some areas denser and more abrasion-resistant, while others reveal the character of the material more openly.
The project serves as an impulse for rethinking the use of regional materials by exploring novel aesthetics created through material experimentation.
