The Tech Couture collection by Suzanne Tick for Teknion Textiles features upholstery and vertical fabrics inspired by artisanal techniques long associated with couture fashion. The design tools of technology have made it possible to create couture looks and techniques, formerly only made by hand with acute attention to detail. Cutting, quilting, embossing, and stitch work once done by hand are now seamlessly accomplished through CAD work, lasers, and computerized machinery. A feeling of grandeur can now be imparted on more modest materials and objects of all scales.
Tick brings this concept to Teknion Textiles, realizing that luxury and wellbeing comes from textured fabrics that impart a sense of hand manipulation and artistry. In today’s digital era of slick tech materials, textiles provide warmth, comfort, and a tactile experience in direct contrast to the cold, hard, glossy touch of iPhones and tablets. Likewise, while desiring creature comforts, we are also future-seekers, craving new materials that can be used with the classics to remind us that we are moving forward. The Tech Couture collection captures this dichotomy with textiles that speak to rich textures and colors, quality constructions, and the spirit of craftsmanship.
