Lamella textile is a result of the design research and regards several aspect of new
purpose for alternative materials. The aim was to create innovative textile were simple
yet unique and which involve the waste source. The mission was to go in invention and
ingenuity in the finding new application for an old substance. To reuse plastic became
the main issue for searching potential in material that is a trash-problem. These days
almost everything is packed. Many of packing are only once used and becoming another
waste. By own experience as a consumer I started to collect packages from fruit and
vegetables. The beauty of plastic mesh, the irregular structure and bright color inspired
me to use them again. Design focused on innovative development of plastic as a
combination of new composites. By experiment of thermo-lamination for layering fabrics I
created many samples of patterns and components. Upcycled plastic mesh, leftover
fabrics from production sectors, several samples of laminate – together build overall
structure of surprising material. The result is a new and exciting textile that utilized the
plastic combination by lamination with natural fibers. This research includes
psychological aspect as design aim. The composite materials as plastic and natural fibers
can give the capacity to enhance emotional bonding between product and user. Unique
textile gives potential for technological development and is open for progress. Lamella is
dedicated for interior design, fashion sectors and different territories of usability.
