Beschrijving
Husk is a knitted textile with a three-dimensional ribbed structure designed by Marc Thorpe. The rhythmic design is inspired by the architecture of the corn husks, which he encountered in the fields of Northern Italy during his travels.
The three-dimensional ribs, seemingly in random thicknesses of five to ten millimetres, run parallel to the selvedge, giving Husk an exceptionally tactile, comfortable expression. When upholstered on a larger piece of furniture, the stripes would be horizontal.
Husk is constructed with two different coloured yarns that unite to create a uniform mélange. Stitching runs either side of the ribs in a subtly contrasting or tone-on-tone hue, creating eye-catching details which emerge under close inspection.
Marc Thorpe: “Husk is inspired by the leafy outer shell of an ear of corn. The irregular linear texture lends itself to an architecture, which is both visual and tactile. The formal language of the textile plays with rhythms of light and shadow, and soft organic tones found in nature.”
Due to its knitted construction, Husk is particularly stretchable and softly clings to the curves and organic shapes of furniture. It is well-suited for both private and public areas.
