Predmet obravnave diplomske naloge je oblikovanje kolekcije dekorativnih žakarskih tkanin za oblazinjenje recikliranih kosov pohištva. Svet, v katerem živimo, se spreminja z neznansko hitrostjo, konstantni razvoj tehnologije in industrije se kaže v razvitosti samih izdelkov. Hitre spremembe produktov in cenovna dostopnost vodijo do ogromnih količin odpadnih predmetov. Zato se je že v 70. letih 20. stoletja med ljudmi začela širiti ideja o recikliranju in ponovni uporabi, ki bi pripomogla k postopnemu zmanjševanju onesnaževanja Zemlje. Zaradi vse večje potrebe po zmanjšanju odpadnega materiala in prevelike okoljske obremenitve se diplomsko delo usmeri v raziskovanje dobrih praks recikliranja in ponovne uporabe. V eksperimentalnem delu sem prikazala proces reciklaže šolskih stolov. Kovinsko ogrodje šolskih stolov je bilo preurejeno v nove objekte, ki so ohranili svojo pohištveno funkcijo. V želji po nadgradnji in oplemenitenju kovinskega ogrodja stolov s tekstilnimi kosi sem oblikovala kolekcijo dekorativnih žakarskih tkanin za oblazinjenje recikliranih stolov. Žakarske tkanine spadajo med tehnološko kompleksnejše in so lahko ustvarjene s sistemom ene osnove in enega votka ali s sistemom več osnov in votkov. Vzorci žakarskih tkanin so vizualno sestavljeni iz treh delov: iz grafičnih vzorcev, ilustracije človeka in človeških predmetov ter pokrajine oziroma barvnih ploskev, ki so združeni glede na opredeljeno oz. dodeljeno funkcijo pohištva. Žakarske tkanine so objektom dodale vrednost, unikatnost in s tem tudi višji cenovni razred.

• Title: Designing a collection of decorative jacquard fabrics for recycled furniture pieces

Abstract

The focus of this diploma paper is a collection of jacquard fabrics used to decorate the cushioned part of the recycled furniture. The world we live in is changing with immense speed and the constant technological development and industrial chang-es are evident through the evolution of the products themselves. Fast product changes and low prices lead to a great amount of waste. The idea of recycling and reusing and thus lessen the impact of waste on the environment has been present since the 70s. Due to the ever-growing demand for lessening waste and our envi-ronmental impact this paper then focuses also on the exploration of admirable recy-cling practices. The experimental part shows the process of recycling school chairs. The metal frame was repurposed and used for other furniture pieces. In my wish to upgrade and embellish the metal framework with textile pieces, I had designed a collection of decorative jacquard fabrics which were used to cushion the recycled chairs. Jacquard fabrics are one of the most complex fabrics from a technological point of view and can be produced with a system of one warp and one weft or with a system of more warps and more wefts. The patterns of jacquard fabrics visually consist of three parts: graphic prints, an illustration of a human subject, objects and landscape or color surfaces that are combined based on the function of the furni-ture. Jacquard fabrics were considered an added merit to the furniture piece that had made it unique and thus also a more valuable item.
