Below Woven Image is celebrating 20 years of its EchoPanel product
Woven Image has a vast history of design and artist collaborations, from supporting up-and-coming designers to renowned industry icons. We couple these different signature styles with our own in-house designers to provide a point of difference to our product portfolio whilst maintaining our Woven Image contemporary look and feel.
Which exhibitions do you visit for inspiration/research? Tese days mostly Milan Furniture Fair and the city itself during the fair when showrooms and designers open their doors to share their latest innovations. Based in Singapore, I often find inspiration in the Asia-Pacific region from exhibitions of famous artists to small ceramics and homewares fairs.
What have been your main drivers for your company’s most recent collection?
As Woven Image celebrates 20 years of EchoPanel, our hero innovation in design for dematerialisation, we continue to expand its colour palette with recent nature-inspired additions including Dusk, Butter, Cayenne, Nutmeg and Mint. Also celebrated is EchoPanel’s Carbon Neutral certification by Climate Active. Later in 2024, we will unveil our latest product release, Macro Rhythms, which showcases 3D formed acoustic panels Curtain and Column. Tis will be previewed at Material Matters and within Te Collective showroom, our UK distribution partner, during the London Design Festival. Exciting times as we forge ahead in the ongoing evolution of design-led product solutions for interior spaces.
