Textile sculptures as a source of inspiration for making oversized throws

Cilj diplomskog rada je istraživanje tekstilnih skulptura i prirodno bojanih tkanina kao izvor inspiracije za oblikovanje predimenzioniranih prekrivača. U teorijskom dijelu rad donosi pregled suvremenih autora koji se bave tekstilnom skulpturom dok se kroz literaturu pomno analizira mogućnost bojanja tkanina prirodnim putem. Stečeno znanje se potom primjenjuje u eksperimentalnom dijelu; oblikovanjem skulpturalnih forma te kombinacijom strojnog i ručnog šivanja dolazi se do konačnog rezultata proizvoda i njegove primjene u interijeru.The aim of the thesis is to research textile sculptures and naturally dyed fabrics as a source of inspiration for making oversized bedspreads. In the theoretical part, the paper provides an overview of contemporary artists dealing with textile sculpture, while the possibility of dyeing fabrics in a natural way is carefully analyzed through the literature. The acquired knowledge is then applied in the experimental part; shaping sculptural forms and a combination of machine and hand sewing leads to the final result of the product and its application in the interior
