«This building, in essence a delicate table of concrete with glazed sides beneath two tiers of overhanging shelves, stands in a grove of trees which - as the architect no doubt intended - complement its proportions and style. The detailing, both inside and out, is restrained and immaculate, which is of more than usual importance in a structure which invites those outside to look into a through from every angle. The area is remote and scenically distinguished, and the successful placing in it of this sophisticated building, which makes no concessions to regional taste, places feathers in several caps - including that of the local planning authority».

Archive Visit • Heriot Watt University Textile Collection • 19th October 2017

I arranged another appointment to view some of the archive material at the HW Textile Collection, with a particular focus on Bernat Klein (obviously).

Helen, the archivist, presented a selection of woven cloth samples dating back to the 60′s. These were of particular interest due to their evident portrayal of Klein’s unique design approach.

Plus the colours were incredible.

Almost 60 years on and the pinks were as vibrant as I could ever imagine.

A wonderful source of inspo. I have been particularly captured by the structure of the cloth, alongside the incredible colour information.

Figure 1 and 3 perfectly demonstrate how light the fabric is when held up against daylight, yet when placed flat it appears bulky, thick and heavy.

This is yet another deception Klein has created through smart design.  〰
