Brintons unveils new designs
Brintons will exhibit its latest High Definition collections at the BCFA Open Spring Design event, taking place from 28 – 29 March at the Old Truman Brewery, in Shoreditch, London.
The brand will showcase two new bold graphic designs, woven in its 32-colour High Definition Weave, a unique Brintons’ innovation created for the contract market that allows for a large range of design possibilities and highly dynamic visuals.
An art inspired design from the Altered Gravity collection, created by Stacy Garcia, will be presented as a wall hanging, extending to the floor alongside a pixel-enthused design from the Zuzunaga collection by artist-designer Christian Zuzunaga. These two designs showcase the creative possibilities and extended colour combinations allowed by Brintons’ HD Weave technology.
Altered Gravity is the eighth collaborative collection between Brintons and Stacy Garcia. The range includes 14 patterns and draws inspiration from diverse periods in the history of modern art. Abstract expressionism collides with contemporary graphic design and digitally rendered textures melt between layers of mixed media paintings.
Garcia comments: “Altered Gravity is about exploring the boundaries of experimental design techniques and mediums. We’re bringing it back to the basics of fine art and melding it with new technologies.”
Zuzunaga’s design was inspired by his exploration of Brintons extensive design archive in Kidderminster. Visiting the archive, he was inspired by the contemporary relevance of the antique fabrics and captivated by their similarities to his own design principals.
The bold, colourful squares and pixel based designs evident in weaving and wool dying, dating back centuries, inspired the mandala styling and repeating symmetrical motifs of this collection. The exhibited design will display an array of bright hues delivered in a repetitive square motif expressing the vast possibilities of combining soft mediums with digital techniques.
