ARTEMIS, A Textile Takes Aim to Transform Seating through Design and Invention Webinar
ZoomCalling on her skills as a designer with a keen understanding of manufacturing, Elizabeth Whelan believes her textile, Artemis, can advance seating design. Artemis combines the function of a foam cushion with the beauty of an upholstery fabric into an inventive three-dimensional woven textile is breathable, comfortable and can be manufactured on a standard power loom. Whelan was granted a utility patent in both the US and EU for Artemis. She received a grant from the Maine Technology Institute to make a manufacturing trial at AFFOA.
In this presentation, Whelan will take you through the design and development process of Artemis. After the presentation, she will take questions from the audience and engage in discussion of design and innovation in textiles.
Elizabeth Whelan is a designer and inventor. She is the recipient of numerous awards. Last year she was the winner of the Rome Prize in Design at the American Academy of Rome and the Helen Adelia Metcalf Visionary Award from the Rhode Island School of Design Alumni Association. S
