Fabric interiors, fabric pods ingenious - beautiful!


This space is so effective, it looks simple and beautiful. These cylinders are enclosed fabric spaces, secured by tension cables and sitting on a wooden base to provide a kind of indoor camping space. Italian studio Antonio Ravalli Architetti converted an old factory in Migliarino, Italy, into a youth hostel where guests can stay in these tall fabric-covered pods. They don't look sound proof but definitely pretty luxurious in comparison to most hostels.


This installation is at Brooklyn's Museum and was designed by Situ Studio. It utilises the existing columns and consists of 2000 metres of fabric which is pleated around the columns. This installation is open until the end of January and these photos are incredible, if you are local you must go.


This tranquil looking space was designed for hairdresser Pedro Remy. This concepts focuses on keeping the raw elements of the space, exposed concrete features throughout, softened with translucent fabric. This salon is in the city of Braga, and was designed by Architect Nuno Capa. This space is relaxing, contemporary and has subtle character.


This beautiful concertinaed fabric is part of an exhibition about performance art and movement designed by London firm Amanda Levete Architects at the Hayward Gallery in London. The exhibition is called Move: Choreographing You, and it charts the relationship between performance and visual art over the last 50 years and invites visitors to participate in the installations on show. This beautiful fabric ribbon provides way finding through the exhibition for visitors.


This is an installation inspired by the wrapping of buildings. The fabric on the facade of this building is quite unique and interesting.

These installations are gorgeous and quite breath-taking. Fabric is so incredible, you are only limited by your imagination!
