The LcD textile Collection by Luc Druez has been submitted by Fameed Khalique for the Fabric award of the International Product Design Award 2013.

The LcD textile collection by Luc Druez is a limited edition of ‘hijacked’ fabrics made from reclaimed technical fibres. These awe-inspiring materials are produced in small-scale specialist workshops in Belgium, France and Italy for use in private home decoration, haute couture and interior design.

All the collection is dedicated to light: the textiles are translucent and can be used either in space, around windows and in transparent settings (as blinds, screens, dividers), on walls or for seating.

Their fantastical forms also lend themselves to wider creative use: in the hotel industry, for window dressing, restaurants, theatres, and for accessories, clothing, hats and bags. In an interior setting the translucent nature of the fabrics is a perfect partner where there is a light-source, natural or otherwise, or where there is a need for blinds, screens or dividers. They have the industry standards and specifications to also be used on walls or for seating in a commercial or private environment.

Produced in a small-scale workshop in Belgium, 20 CUI Rain is made from “hijacked” technical fibres:

-fishing-rod string: translucent, strong, washable …

-electrician’s copper wire, oxidizable in an infinite palette of colours, each one unique … This is also the precious metal whose magnetism is most in phase with the human body …

All the collection is dedicated to light: the textiles are translucent and can be used either in space, around windows and in transparent settings (as blinds, screens, dividers), on walls or for seating … or else for spectacular items around the body in haute couture, theatre.
