Thanks to the development of High-tech industry and lots of information media, the 21st century, as the period of Knowledge Intensive Industry Centered Design, has been undergoing rapid changes. In this rapidly changing social environments, fashion and the trend of fabric, both of which are related to people, are also changing rapidly along with the changes of consumer's behavior. Together with the human race, fabric has developed as means for the basic element of human life, that is, food, clothing and housing with the long history and tradition. As the national income and a standard of living have been increased, there are lots of needs toward various and new designs. While the functional era, in which people learned the knowledge and skills on design and used their learning for making a living, is gone, the era of upgraded design, which thinks much of the meaning of sensibility and psychological value as well as symbols or the way to express personality is valued highly, rushes into. Fabric gives attention to the need of such design that shows the functions with diversified expression according to the trend in the era of
specialization and is concerned about artistic effects in the design of fabric to keep pace up with the trend of the times. Also fabric is interested in developing the creativity and aesthetics challenging new things and has tried to develop products generating high value added. For the development of this fabric, firstly it is necessary to research with full of interest on Visual Texture and Tactile Texture, which are the important features of fabric. In order to develop the creative design of fabric, it is necessary to choose new material under the current circumstances. Also, it is thought that it is important to research on the transformation of material and the development of expressional techniques able to be free from uniformity in the existing products of fabric and to maximize the features of texture that each fabric has.
In order to develop the motive design, I, as a researcher of this paper, want to examine the possibility of developing the design focusing on formativeness and the study of Fabric Material Processing Technique. Especially, I will suggest the possibility of fibrinous development by studying largely on the changes of texture shown on the surface of fabric by the Slash Technique grafted on Nuno Felt Technique among Fabric Material Processing Technique. Study for this purpose is as follows.
Firstly, I will study on the patterns and features of line, which will be employed for the motive of design, and the formativeness of line in art and design such as the image of line used for modern plastic art
Secondly, I will develop such fabric that has both practicality and modern design as manufactures using the motive of line emphasizing on the aspects of sensibility.
Thirdly, based on the understanding about Slash Technique and Nuno Felt Technique, I will examine the external transformation by the changes of texture on the surface of fabric occurred through the combination of complex materials, choose a material suitable for Fabric Material Processing Technique, manufacture and analyze real manufactures.
The results generated from the process of this study are as follows.
Firstly, the application of the motive of line, which is the most important factor in plastic art, has possibilities enough for being developed as fabric design with high value added through various formative experiments.
Secondly, it is possible to produce the three dimensional and decorative changes of texture on the surface of new and various fabric through the loose strand, curling, and contraction phenomenon of Slash Technique and shrinking phenomenon by the alkali, heat, and friction of Nuno Felt Technique. Thirdly, in order to find the changes of texture represented according to the degree of the combination of one fabric with another fabric, it is important to choose materials appropriate for a researcher's aesthetic sense from the existing fabric materials. To do so, I tested cohesion between materials. I learned that these various experiments are the positive way to find out new texture. Fourth, I want to show various design factors by the motive of line in order to stimulate the moderns' sensibility, apply Slash Technique and Nuno Felt Technique of Fabric Material Processing Technique, and contribute to develop fabric materials with high value added by presenting a total of 18 pieces from the works of 8 groups.
