For SHELTER WE.DO have made a loosely structured shelter that looks and feels like it has been inspired by the organic. Having built a machine that weaves fabric threads together to create lengths of rope that hang from a circular foundation on the ceiling the final shape of which is dictated by gravity. Tent TENT visitors can interact with and even swing on the mass of textile vines.

The brief to create a ’shelter’ that Tent visitors can explore and interact with, using off-cuts, by-products and discontinued lines from Scottish textiles manufacturer, Bute Fabrics.

Each design will showcase the imagination, innovation and personality of both the designers and the materials they use.
