Futuro Textiles 3

WHERE: Barcelona, Spain
WHEN: 15 Feb 2011
CLIENT: Lille3000

A brand new Archilace commission and Sonumbra showcase for Futuro Textiles 3 was commissioned by Lille3000 in Barcelona, it was part of a brand new tour that was originally created in 2006. 

The exhibition focussed on bio-textiles, smart textiles, new materials and composite materials. It was a discovery journey through the world of textiles, science and technology.

“Objects, applications and works of art are inspired by the wildest dreams to invent tomorrow’s hopes.”

We were commissioned to create the beacon entrance piece for the exhibition and constructed a huge double walled Archilace tunnel for outdoors to attract visitors to the exhibition. The structure was hand woven over two days by only four people and was a great opportunity to showcase the strong and flexible nature of the construction technique.
