Vitra Pushes The Boundaries Of Textile Design And Modern Weaving Technology With The Vlinder Sofa

The high-ceilinged factory, flooded with natural light that enters through large windows, allows an uninterrupted view of the manufacturing site, throughout which a modern pool of yarning, spinning, warping, knitting, dying, and weaving machines execute different operations almost simultaneously. Amidst colorful threads pulled through intricate weaving devices, and large piles of fabric, the visionary design and production process behind Vitra’s new textile creation is unveiled. Seven different jacquard weaves, composed of eight colored yarns in two distinct thicknesses, create a new fabric in which pattern, texture and color come together.
