Dezeen Showroom: US textile company Designtex worked with artist Sophie Smallhorn to make Ribbon, a textile that aims to bring colour and energy into interiors.
Ribbon features a linear motif that mimics the flow of a ribbon in motion, with angular folds that layer colours and transparencies.
The pattern is typical of Smallhorn, who is known for her mastery of colour and spatial dynamics.
"Our goal is to bring joy and a positive experience to interior spaces," said Designtex executive director of design Sara Balderi.
"Sophie's distinctive approach to color and form, combined with her hands-on methods, resulted in a textile that can transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary environments," she continued.
Ribbon is available as a high-performance coated coated textile made of 100 per cent polycarbonate-based polyurethane, and there are also two versions – DS Ribbon and Flat Ribbon – that have been added to Designtex's Digital Studio online tool, allowing users to customise the pattern for upholstery and wallcoverings on various substrates.
