Fabricademy Final Project – Textile Bioplastic composite – Samples


TextilesTubes : Samples made into tube shapes


Creating structures with TextileTubes

Threading together tubes to create a geometric structure was just like making my beaded jewellery, but on a much larger scale.

This technique work for any kind of structure or shape.

Geo Chair base

Again using the technique to make a flat geometric triangular structure, then curving it against the form of a chair.

What I later realised, is that I could stiffen the structure with the same bioplastic recipe and although the geometric pattern would be obscured, it could act as an interal structure to a form.I later used this concept in my final piece.

Zero Waste ideas within the waste Textile composites concept

  1. From waste textile samples to stiff textile tubes
  2. Waste textile tubes into offcuts into Fabricks
