I thought I would post this on our group blog, although it was shown to us at the beginning of the project I found it inspirational in combining materials and a good reminder when I trail off in my project work to draw me back in, and a good starting point!!
It is the girliconrete blog!
Hope you all find it useful!

The design used as inspiration for the velvet concrete wall was originally designed by English architect and designer, Augustus Pugin (1812-1852). TF is grateful to Watts of Westminster for allowing us to use and develop the design further to apply to our concrete/ textile technology.
The Design (or Document as it’s called) would originally have been a woven cut velvet, and possibly altered to be produced as a stamped velvet. The original stamped roller is still on display at Watts of Westminster London showroom.
