Chicago Showroom
Designtex
2025

Central to any working textile showroom is the ability to show drops of material and hang them easily. Textile yardage typically comes rolled on a tube and is cut to length - with that cut edge often needing to be treated. 

My solution for Designtex’s new Chicago showroom was a display system that allows extra yardage and rolls to be hidden. The resulting Textile Box system evokes garden planters with the textiles emerging upwards, supported by an unseen substructure.
