摘要

Students at Parsons New School for Design in New York spent a semester investigating the properties of textiles as "soft structures." They wanted to work with Xorel, a paper-backed woven textile created by Carnegie Fabrics, Rockville Center, N.Y., to develop an exhibit for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in May 2012. "The project statement was very intriguing," says Heather Bush, executive vice president of Carnegie Fabrics.
