Invited by a leading Indian textile manufacturer, Rebecca was asked to revive a traditional weaving technique from Kannur, Southern India that is at risk of dying out. Rebecca collaborated with woven textile designer, Subhash Kumar, combining their technical knowledge and expertise to create a commercial collection of interior textiles. In this manufacturing process, the pattern is first printed onto the warp prior to being woven, producing a natural shift in the original design. Fusing analogue and digital techniques, the designs created embrace the element of chance, with evidence of the ‘hand of the maker’ pushing the geometric trend in new directions.
