So far my internship is moving along and keeping me quite busy - they had me on projects almost right away...I've done everything from rendering 3d models, selecting fabrics and finishes and today I finished my first 32 x 40 material & furniture board (well, it was my first professional one anyway) - quite a process and a lot more work and detail than I thought but hopefully the client will love it and the hard work will pay off! In making furniture boards and ordering samples I deal a lot with textiles in my day to day job. It really got me thinking about applying textiles in applications beyond furniture. I did some research and found some really cool, innovative and sustainable ways textiles are used in architecture.

| Fabric and be swamped out as it could be commissioned by different designers. Fabric is made from recycled materials. |

| Interior rendering, doesn't quite fit into the theme of textiles but it was just too beautiful not to include! This building is amazing inside and out! |

 |
| Drops consist of legs of stainless steel and an inner tube covered with recycled upholstery material. The seat can also be removed from the underframe for use as a "pouffe". |
