Lappais a young creative studio founded in 2018 by designers Lenka Preussova and Anna Leschinger in Prague. Studio focuses on textile design and its acoustic qualities in contemporary interiors.
As part of the workshop, participants will conceptualize and create their own Acoustic Panel Designs.
We will focus together with participants on the possibilities of flexible textiles and look for ways to shape them on the frame by stretching of the fabric. Each participant will get a wooden frame and choose colourful fabric, and will create their own design for a square acoustic panel.
At the end of the workshop, we will put all the panels together in one composition so that we can document them. This is a very fun moment when all the creations come together in a colorful mosaic.
