I’m a huge fan of Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, and their recent Clouds design never fail to amaze me. Made in collaboration with the Danish textile company, Kvadrat, Clouds is a system of puzzle-like, polygonal textile modules joined at the ends with rubber band attachments to form faceted tapestries at varying scales. What’s amazing is that the tile surfaces begin to fold based on the configuration, thus creating numerous volumetric possibilities. You can arrange and rearrange the tiles to your whims and fancies, create a decorative screen wall, a sculptural installation, and even tent structures. Go figure.
