Materials ConneXion and Silicone Casting

Materials ConneXion

InterKnit by Takorn Textile Studio

I am interested in the reflective material that is weaved into the fabric. I want to play around with the reflective material but it is usually only available in films and acrylics. However, by applying this technique, I can make the reflective material flexible and more organic than straight, hard panels.

Takorn Textile Studio is not distributing this material as it seems like they created this for their clothing line. However, I am interested in recreating something similar by using covering plastic strips with dichroic film and weaving it through a loom that is available on the floor.
