Born in N. Ireland in 1986, David Irwin graduated in Three Dimensional Design at Northumbria University in 2007.

Excerpt from:
Friday Five with David Irwin

During Helsinki Design Week , I visited Habitare 2012 , a furniture and design fair that drew about 57,000 people over the five days it was open. There was such great work on display including a large amount of student designs and work by Finnish designers. The Ecobol display from Jouni Leino really caught my eye

Take a peak at these modular wall designs brought to us by 3Form. Both of these two wall systems can be easily removed and rearranged as easily as a pair of socks! Such designs are great for exhibitions, retail stores or any location in which the decor changes often.

The photo above is the Wovin Wall from 3Form that is a series of  alternating tiles matched together to create a three-dimensional design. The Wovin Wall is available in many material options, such as wood veneer, anodized aluminum and polyresin. Depending on the material chosen, there is also a wide selection of color combinations available for the Wovin Wall.

Similar to the Wovin Wall, is the Wave Wall, seen in the second photo here. The wave effect of the Wave Wall is created by placing tiles in grooved aluminum extrusions. It is available in two patterns: continuous or alternating. Made in the same materials as the Wovin Wall, the Wave Wall is also available in a large variety of colors.

I’m thinking these would look great in an office space or hotel, or even as a funky wall piece in your home. Where would you use the Wovin or Wave Walls?

NETwork transforms two dimensional embroidery into pop-up furniture objects. The new design project by Studio Aisslinger combines high tech technologies and traditional stitching techniques into the captivating collection you see here. Perfectly put on its website,  ”…design evolution is always a matter of empirical experiment, materials and technology – for this exhibition we worked with a hidden traditional stitching textile technology which we transformed into a 2D-to-3D-furniture pop-up concept..”

So how is it done? The volumes are translated with software into two dimensional projections of themselves that can be programmed into machines that stitch the pattern into a carrying surface. The surface is then dissolved and the embroidered 2d patterns becomes a 3d object. The shapes formed by the stitched honeycomb structures are fitted over fiberglass molds and injected combined with resin to make them rigid and stable. The result is the unique collection you see here.

Find out even more about how it’s done at Studio Aisslinger’s website.
