Lenticular Weave
Lenticular Weave is an innovative textile that changes when viewed from different angles. As a result, the dynamics of movement, contrast, surprise, and delay, are directly connected with the viewer, user, or wearer. The 3D weave can influence the space or a person’s emotion or mood. Therefore Antoine Peters believes Lenticular Weave has potential for aesthetic, functional ánd social applications in architecture, interior, product, fashion ánd art.
Lenticular weave
Many years ago Antoine Peters was wowed by the magic of lenticular printing, and ever since he dreams about translating this into textile. This resulted in extensive research, lots of knowledge and a series of ‘lenticular dresses’. For the next step in Peters’ quest to create a fabric that requires movement to reveal every facet, Peters collaborated with EE Exclusives, a producer of high-detailed jacquard woven fabrics, and created Lenticular Weave.
Slow down!
The 3D weave triggers its observers to interact, leave the static position, decentralize and start walking around, resulting in an enlivening of the space. Antoine Peters wants to break through the traditional relationship between spectator and textile, by disrupting the ratio, to cause a delay, imbalance, and change of perspective. In fact, the Lenticular fabric postpones the first judgment because it takes time to see and experience the total. Peters believes that when everybody slows down a little, – by being forced to look, feel or think twice –, the things we do or say will contain more empathy and awareness. And we will take better care of the magical qualities of textiles and the wondrous world which we share.
Discover the cubist face
Showcasing the diversity of possibilities and its unique power to create kinetic storytelling, Peters designed a cubist face. (Fittingly, Cubism played with perception also and depicted the subject from a multitude of viewpoints, representing the subject in a greater context.) A play with contrasts in artworks and complementary colors creates the experience of change, motion, depth, and emotion. By zooming in on the face, you discover a closing eye, an arrow changing direction, happy becoming sad, small growing big, a rainbow turning black, straight becoming wavy, vertical turning horizontal, dots becoming stripes, and much more.
