KNOLL WALLCOVERING

LTL's collection of wallcovering designs for Knoll Textiles, entitled Parallel Lines, explore the intersection between decoration and drawing. Using hardline pencil lines, scans, overdrawing and digital repetition, the resulting pattern oscillates between digital and physical effects. Each pattern has a built-in spatial play and a resolution that allows different readings: from afar the pattern appears as a field condition; up close the detail of the pencilwork and logic of the pattern emerge. The pattern, Vector, uses lines that fade from dark to light resulting in subtle undulations that move up and down the wall. Margin reads as a series of vertical columns produced out of only horizontal lines. Perimeter is based on 9 different rectangles, each with its own line type, overlapped and layered to provide a sense of depth.
