An examination of acoustic textiles using biomorphic design
“Silent Canvas” investigates how recycled yarns function for aesthetically appealing and effectively cushioned circular acoustic absorbers. The idea collection shows the scope for improving the visual properties of such absorbers: inspired by the ultrasonic-absorbing microstructures of moth wings, knitting serves as the key technique in replicating these natural structures in recycled materials.
The project deals with SDG 12.5, the reduction of waste generation through reuse, and through partnership and knowledge exchange contributes to meeting SDG 17.
The work is part of a project of the Products & Textiles Research Group – HSLU Design, Film & Art.
