Blue side details of Infinity Sky room divider

The high-end segment project reflects elements from the regions where Hala studied, worked, and lived. It features minimised oriental patterns, modern textile design techniques, a sophisticated palette of colours and materials, and a focus on inclusiveness, wellbeing, and absorbing sound.

Infinity Sky room divider

The "Infinity Sky" double sided 3D woven room divider/wall hanging, is a superb textile masterpiece, created by textile designer Hala Yousif in cooperation with the Textielmuseum Tilburg. It takes inspiration from a beautiful fusion of contrasting feelings and cultural references, reflecting Hala's deep connection to her birth country, Iraq, and her experiences living in Sweden. The design blends elements of an infinite Islamic geometric pattern with the crystal-clear blue Swedish sky. The chosen material for this artwork is merino wool, known for its softness and warmth, and it is designed with a 3D effect to realize sound absorbing properties. It is designed to be double-sided, allowing the functional use to flexibly separate spaces in offices, hotels or residences.
