Diatoms De-Science 2012

Diatoms. 2012

Diatoms DE-Science is a collection of 4 pure silk in creponette and chiffon. 

The project Diatoms De-Science, curated by Carla Langella, concerns the intersection between design and biology. It is an international research opportunity to transfer principles and models related to the specific photonic, mechanical, morphological and structural characteristics of diatoms in the specific production sectors of lighting, design of electronic and digital devices, furniture design and jewelry design.

The Diatoms Collection of scarves focuses its research on two main aspects of diatoms: their aesthetic as a pure element of drawing and their biological ability to grow, to modulate, to develop into the water. The graphic patterns realized are inspired by diatoms images visualized scientifically by sem microscopes. The intent is a new production of silk scarves that recreate on skin, throught their transparencies, marine and unpublished textures. 

Materials | Techniques: pure silk creponette, silk chiffon, digital print, hand sewing.
