'NETwork' is a new series of work by Studio Aisslinger that transforms two-dimensional embroidery into 3D furniture.

"Design evolution is always a matter of empirical experiment, materials and technology" say the German design studio of their project; "we worked with a hidden traditional stitching textile technology which we transformed into a 2D-to-3D-furniture pop-up concept."

The collection is the research-result developed with a traditional German manufacturer in Plauen, a region with a long heritage of stitching and embroidery.

Since Gaetano Pesce´s UP collection from 1969, the switch of dimensions has been a challenge for designers and design concepts, and these pieces of the 'NETwork - stitching furniture' edition – armchairs, stools and lamps – are volumes carefully designed for later flattening with software support.

The objects themselves are extremely light, transparent and rather pleasing - part sculpure, part usable furniture - 3D textile meta-networks for everyday life. 

We like this - and it sort of reminds us of this...
