It's a brand new year, and as we see new collections pop up all over the DDB, we're noticing a few trends.
Our first trend isn't so much about what is there, but rather what isn't there and all of the creative ways of designing fabrics and products by using perforation, cutouts, and “holes”!
Less is more when it comes to fabrics whose design is based on cutout pieces and intentionally designed absences in their making. The voids that we've been seeing create dramatic effects and, when used in fabric, use window light as an even larger part of a room's design. Création Baumann is a perfect example of perforated fabric that is both dramatic and fresh.
"Création Baumann offers an enormous library of laser-cut fabrics that have been wildly successful over the past several years," said a sales associate. "Cutting our fabrics by laser allows for exact dimensions wanted by the client and lets our designers use patterns ranging from strong, geometric designs to soft, flighty, and whimsical designs. They allow for such a wide spectrum of atmospheres and tastes."
Création Baumann's Curl pattern, part of the Création Baumann Line collection, is one of our favorite examples of geometric design. The Curl curtain fabric in established burn-out quality features transparent shapes emerging from dense, wave-like bases to generate an intriguing and puzzling interplay of shapes and shadows.
Sahco's Gala collection by Brentano balances sophistication and playfulness in the fabric Nightlife. Nightlife features geometric twisting and turning patterns inspired by stained glass windows and brought to life using an innovative laser cutting method.
Check back with GoDesignGo tomorrow for more on showrooms full of perforated product throughout the DDB.
