“Techne explores the visual discourse between art and science”
pallas textiles SPACE 1181 “Technology” conjures thoughts of the digital world, but at its root the word means art or craft. That
musing by product designer Geraldine Blanchot Fortier became the inspiration for Techne, digitally printed nonwoven contract textiles that echo the tactility of their woven counterparts. Among the offerings is silicone Arc, showcasing a kinetic interplay of rounded shapes in happy hues; polyurethane-based Edge, contrasting squares and rectangles on a faux-woven ground; dainty Origin, a solid in phthalate-free polyvinyl chloride with a subtle gleam; and Rove, in the same material but with variegated details echoing the process of roving frame automation.
