I found two materials that I find would be very interesting to work with. The first one is “Smash”, a “specialized long-fiber non-woven polyester” that can be blown into shapes.
It’s a new product so this is the only project I have found using the technology. I find it very inspiring and would love to create a piece using it.
The second is a re-purposed material: felt usually used for sport center floors.
I love the rigid and soft features of the material, and it is interesting how it can be bent into shapes.
