Textile shells

VEIO

The scarf series VEIO, processed by turning, was created by Kathin Morawietz’s idea of pressing the layers of old textiles together by a thin layer of glue. In the process, these become a dense block that retains the feel of the fabric and makes it a visually unique piece. Once the material is strong enough, following the traditional woodworking method of turning, the series is shaped and finished on the lathe. The result: the colored layers of fabric run through the shells and their appearance is reminiscent of VEIO, the Portuguese word for vein of rock. The special series is characterized not only by its design but also by its light weight and haptic experience.
