Tending Trends: Plethoras of Perforation Pock the DDB (Part 2)

Less is more for our newly spotted design trend at the DDB. With perforated products popping up in showrooms all over the building, we love seeing what creative ways designers are spinning perforations and cutouts throughout collections.




The new Donghia showroom boasts perforated patterns in fabrics such as Mirror, Mirror, which creates a sparkling statement by combining hand-woven silk with small pieces of mica embroidered into laser-cut spaces in the fabric, or Stella, part of the Sahco collection that features a dense white ground weave from which small pieces are cut out by laser. At the same time, the heat of the laser seals the edges of the polyester weave. The effect is lace-like, and the intricate floral design seems like a silhouette.




"Perforated fabrics and products add a new facet to design," said a designer who was shopping at Donghia. "By adding the texture with laser-cut designs, instead of with the more traditional uses of texture, the possibilities within a space widen even further and the whole design process really gets fun and creative. I personally love the way perforated curtains can look, because they affect a room so, so much in every single kind of light the day is giving you outside!"




If you're looking for more perforated perfection in the DDB, you can visit Création Baumann, Donghia, Romo, Jerry Pair, and more. Let us know what you find!
