The Glyph Collection Is a Typographic Textile Masterpiece

A private favourite of mine at NeoCon 2022 was the Glyph Assortment. A collaboration between Arc-Com design studio and design studio and font foundry Home Industries, it’s a celebration of typographic types. Six distinctive textile patterns had been created primarily based off of the pound signal, tilde, parentheses, a lowercase i, and an x.  Every has a powerful persona by itself, and may both work individually or be paired with different textiles in the identical coloration palette.

“The creation of letters and numbers for Home has all the time wandered someplace between advantageous artwork and performance. The alphabet as a muse to create patterns that morph glyphs into one thing that transcends an remoted character is what impressed The Glyph Assortment,” mentioned Home founder Andy Cruz.

All the patterns inside the Glyph Assortment – together with the velvets – are bleach washer-friendly. In addition they measure up to be used in excessive visitors areas. There are three yarn-dyed, jacquard woven patterns: the i-pattern, X-pattern, and Pound sample all use a heavy, twisted boucle yarn and a wool-like artificial polyester. The second half of the gathering explores personalized velvet constructions. Parentheses encompasses a full pile with a luxurious, uneven floor, whereas Tilde’s reduce and uncut floor pile provides dimension.

So, which sample is your favourite? I’m a fan of Tilde.
