My final collection focuses on visual interests of architectural repeats and patterns with projected colour and 3D structural drawing reimagined through a collection of tactile textiles. Exploring the outcomes of an Interior based collection that highlights comfort and the separation of space all whilst still being interactive, comforting, and playful for all ages and needs. It Introduces the senses to texture and colour whilst interpreting a need for structure and set routines of others with additional needs.

Don’t repeat yourself

A repetitive project that captures the visual interests of architectural repeats and patterns reimagined through a series of tactile textiles and to which introduces the senses into a world of texture and colour. An Interior collection that highlights comfort and the separation of space all whilst still being interactive, comforting, and playful for all ages and needs. A collection of which is soothing and relaxing to the touch and are considerate for individuals with additional needs. Inspired by the way in which different senses can react to textile products, as well as the way in which their mind reacts to change – interpreting their needs for structure and set routines through resolved textile outcomes.

Colour research has been an important factor within the project’s design development. This has been considered carefully as changes in behaviours can be triggered by specific tones of colours. All samples have been designed with consideration to the mind of individuals with additional needs through sounds, textures, and colour. It has been proven that repetitive patterns help improve sensory issues to which my collection is created upon, allowing for a calming nature and behaviour for all that interact

In contrast to the main collection of blended and bright colour tones – A ‘white on white’ theme also explores similar technical processes all whilst implementing tactility. Inspiration of which has been taken from the primary research images and drawing developments, designed strictly on white paper. Sounds and textures that have been. considered for sensory design through a different context – developed for accessories, such as structural handbags, which are to be worn and interacted with.
