Oriedental

Oriedental is a square silk scarf with a digitally printed pattern. The scarf measures 70 by 70 centimetres. The pattern combines Asian and Czech cultural references in a single composition. The concept comes from the personal background of the designer, who is originally from Japan and studied textile design in Prague. The scarf was created within the Studio of Textile Design at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Digital printing on silk is used to produce the pattern.

Flower Power

The explorations of shapes and colors where the contrast and harmony play an eye-catching rule by itself. The mix of organic natural forms accompanied by bright and sharp colors which gave the refreshment and pleasant look to the piece. The delicate line art which is juxtaposed on colored surfaces that creates the floral compositions, which flows with total freedom between each other and where each part has its space to breathe, grow and going forward.

Formosa Sapphire

Formosa Sapphire is a silk scarf decorated with a pattern of Swinhoe's Pheasant, a bird species endemic to Taiwan. The design features hand-drawn brush strokes, fine line textures and bright colors. The bird was studied through photographs and reference books, then drawn in detail. The artwork was converted into a vector file to preserve the original strokes and colors, and is applied to silk by digital printing. The scarf measures 650 by 650 millimeters. The intent is to introduce endemic Taiwanese birds to a wider audience and to support awareness of bird conservation.

Textile Braille

Industrial universal jacquard textile thought as a translator for blind people. This fabric can be read by people with good sight and it is intended for them to help the blind people who are starting to lose sight or having vision problems; in order to learn the braille system with a friendly and common material: fabric. It contains the alphabet, numbers and punctuation marks. No colors are added. It is a product on grey scale as a principle of no light perception. It is a project with social meaning and goes beyond commercial textiles.

Lasso

Lasso as a definition is a long rope with a running noose at one end. Instead of being inspired in; this textile is a result of. It has both special touch and aesthetic besides some special frayed channels so the light can pass through very softly. It is half industrial - half crafted, woven in electronic looms and cut by hand. This project is very attractive and addictive as a candy and has been one of the top challenges and discovery on my career as a textile designer. This project is about serendipia, stumbling upon, chance discovery, fortuity and accident.
