  • DPPI - Interactive Interiors: preliminary study of integrating Textile embellishment techniques and polymeric photonic fibers for Interior Textiles
    Proceedings of the 2011 Conference on Designing Pleasurable Products and Interfaces - DPPI '11, 2011
    Co-Authors: Tan Jeanne, Bai Zi-qian, Tao Xiaoming
    Abstract:

    Interactive Interiors which are customizable to the design preferences and functional purposes of individual users can help create flexible Interiors within fixed spaces. They are particularly relevant to densely populated cities where most people live in compact spaces. This proposed research explores interactive Interior Textile surfaces as an adaptive media which can transform Interiors via the change of colors, luminescence and surface design. This is done by investigating the integration of Textile base material via embellishment techniques, such as embroidery and felting, with polymeric photonic fibers (POF) which enhance tactile quality without compromising on the technological functionality. Their flexible application methods mean that, it is adaptable to the rigid nature of polymeric photonic fibers. In addition, embroidery has the unique ability to arrange and combine threads together with various materials in non-rigid formations and multiple directions to create stable two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms [1]. Different materials can be combined to explore aesthetically pleasing surface designs, textures and achieve positive tactile quality.

  • An exploration of designers’ perspectives on human health and environmental impacts of Interior Textiles
    Textiles and Clothing Sustainability, 2016
    Co-Authors: Sage Calamari, Karen H Hyllegard
    Abstract:

    Fast fashion and fast furnishings contribute to the unsustainability of the Textile industry in multiple ways, and the deleterious impacts of fast furnishings, in particular, have encouraged some companies to embrace more holistic and sustainable approaches to Interior Textile design. As such, the purpose of this study was to explore designers’ perspectives on if and how decisions made during the design process for Interior Textiles may impact human health and the environment throughout the product life cycle, and if and how these decisions may be influenced by the engagement with and/or responsibilities toward stakeholders. This research was informed by multiple frameworks, including the design for the environment (DfE), product life cycle assessment (LCA), and stakeholder theory. Data were collected using an interpretive, qualitative research method that involved in-depth interviews with 12 US designers/design managers who specialize in the development of residential and/or commercial Interior Textiles. Findings revealed that participants demonstrated professional understanding of human health and environmental issues during the preliminary stages of the life cycle, including raw material selection, Textile fabrication, and finishes and treatments, whereas understanding of such issues at the later stages of the life cycle (packaging and transportation, consumer care, and post use) tended to be more theoretical rather than strategic. Findings also revealed differences among designers employed by DfE-oriented companies and designers employed at more conventional companies with respect to their apparent understanding of how decisions made during the design process may impact human health and the environment throughout the product life cycle. This research contributes to our understanding of the role that designers may play in mitigating the negative impacts of Interior Textiles throughout the product life cycle. A limitation of this study is the size of the sample; conclusions are based upon the insights gained from 12 designers of Interior Textile products, and thus may not be generalizable to all designers/companies in the residential and/or commercial Interior Textile industry.

  • The process of designing Interior Textile products & the influence of Design for the Environment (DfE)
    Fashion and Textiles, 2015
    Co-Authors: Sage Calamari, Karen H Hyllegard
    Abstract:

    This study examined the processes involved in the design of Interior Textile products, with emphasis upon processes undertaken by designers’ who are committed to a Design for the Environment (DfE) orientation. Handfield et al. (IEEE TEM 48:189–208, 2001) model of product design and development provided a context by which to explore inclusion of environmental performance criteria within the design process. Data were collected through interviews with twelve professional designers of Interior Textile products. Analyses revealed six themes or stages in the design process for Interior Textile products: resources and research, consumer need and trend identification, inspiration, creative exploration, product samples, and design completion. DfE-oriented designers and conventional designers did not differ in their narratives regarding design process however, the focus and scope of decision-making within each theme or stage allowed for an additional component to the DfE-oriented design and development process of Interior Textile products.
