Point Set

Set’s playful graphic language honors the legacy of textile manufacturing, while highlighting the relationship between early jacquard looms and our experience of today’s digital world. The coding language of 0 and 1 can be traced directly to the binary system of weaving, harnessed by jacquard technology during the industrial revolution. Point Set’s non-directional pattern emulates renderings of classic satin weave structures applied to point paper, a tool used for communicating pattern to industrial looms throughout much of the 1900s. The matelassé structure accentuates the practice of interlacing multi-layered weaves to create pattern. Dual hues in this saturated palette underscore the structure’s relief and materiality.
