Yiyuan Kuang ("YK") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Shuttle Fabric. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
YK : It's the unique relationship between water and land and how they interconnect one another. With free flowing water movements and simplified outline of landscape, they come together to inspire and create new fabric.
YK : Creating a new look for jacquard woven fabric.
YK : About three months.
YK : Actually it's for my graduation project in Zhejiang Sci-tech University. So to say, this design is a commission but also a decision to pursuit an inspiration.
YK : Passion for jacquard woven fabrics.
YK : Shuttle is an essential device used in jacquard weaving which is the point of this project. And it's also a form of transport that travels from a place to another place. It gives a sense of spirituality and an energetic, lively, and innovative feeling.
YK : According to the abstract geometric pattern from nature, I tries to create the fabric rendered in delicate hues of magenta and purple, contrasting against silver piece that formed the final vignette.
YK : Just try. Give myself a chance to show the idea and design to the world.
