Wallace and
Sewell are a highly individual woven textile design studio that create eccentric
and innovative fabrics. W&S are fundamentally known for their bright and
colourful scarves. These struck me due to their profound linear construction,
yet simple structure defiantly being taken over by mass use of colour. A range of yarn is also essential for Wallace and Sewell, demonstrating that texture plays a vital part within their designs.
‘Work is
distinguished by a positive and confident use of colour and an intelligent use
of yarn properties and standard weave structures, producing exclusive fabrics
of discerning appeal.’- Taken from W&S personal website.
When scouring through the works of W&S, I found that the company had started to work with Italian accessories designer Luisa Cevese, where she used their off-cuts of fabric as decoration for her bags, bibs and belts. This concept really intrigues me, and I love how the off-cuts are being recycled into something so beautiful instead of being thrown away. This notion could be highly interesting when creating my own weaves.
