Alcantara and Ross Lovegrove unveil Transmission at V&A

Alcantara and #rosslovegrove today unveiled Transmission, their latest collaboration, which is on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Tapestries for #londondesignfestival. The installation was created by the British designer to mark the fifteenth edition of the annual #design #event, which brings together the biggest names from the industry to London, for a week-long celebration of #design and innovation.

British designer #rosslovegrove, inspired by the Devonshire Hunting Tapestries at the V&A, created Transmission, a spectacular 21-metre-long fluid and free-standing three-dimensional tapestry, which is made entirely from Alcantara®, the renowned Italian material.

Created using Alcantara®, a tactile and pliable material, the soft undulating folds of the installation reflect and highlight both colours and forms of the medieval tapestries. The versatility of the material is highlighted in the different methods of treatment, including colouring and embellishment.
