This silk scarf reinterprets Gyeongbokgung Palace Dancheong patterns by applying stained glass color techniques. The project focuses on the aesthetic transition of traditional colors into seasonal palettes. The patterns are based on the lotus motif and developed in four versions, each reflecting the specific light and color of the seasons over the palace. Produced on silk, the work utilizes digital printing to capture detailed motifs, achieving visual harmony for modern styling.
The Naptime Blanket presents a contemporary take on a traditional concept, drawing inspiration from Finnish forest animals and the traditions of the Finnish maternity package. This jacquard-woven cotton blanket is designed with both function and aesthetics in mind, serving as a versatile textile suited for everyday use. While created to provide warmth and comfort for infants, its carefully considered theme, color palette, and style make it suitable for different stages of childhood.
The surface design, inspired by traditional marbling art, is applied to a high density polyethylene performance fabric. Each pattern originates from handcrafted compositions and is digitally adapted to preserve its organic and non repetitive character. The lightweight, water resistant and wind resistant structure offers durability, breathability, and freedom of movement, creating a functional garment that balances artistic expression with technical performance.
U Life Liquid Silk Satin is a fabric developed for home wear garments. The material combines silk with lustrous satin, keeping the soft sheen and skin friendly feel of silk while remaining easy to care for. A liquid silk film forming technology coats each satin yarn with a thin film of liquid silk. The coating improves moisture absorption, breathability, smoothness and softness, and adds antibacterial and antistatic properties. The fabric measures 145 centimetres in width and 99 grams per square metre. Simple daily washing and care suit a fast paced lifestyle.
Fenc Thermobionic is a knitted fabric collection designed for activewear and everyday clothing. The fabric is made from biobased polyester produced from waste wood, offering an alternative to yarns derived from fossil sources. Bionic knitting technology balances warmth and breathability, using eight-channel yarn for moisture wicking, micro vents for airflow and thermal pockets for insulation. The adaptive structure follows the way hummingbirds regulate heat. Computer jacquard patterning creates shifting blue and green colors that recall wingbeats.

DefeXtiles is a textile fabrication technique that produces thin and flexible fabrics on standard 3D printers. The method controls under-extrusion so that small globs form with fine strands between them. The resulting periodic gaps give a woven appearance, breathability, flexibility and stretch, even with rigid materials such as polylactic acid. The fabric is printed perpendicular to the print bed, so pleated, curved and complex shapes can be made. Applications include garments, tangible interfaces and toys.
