An Invitation from Home

‘What kind of home do I want to come back to?’ This question triggered Debby Yu to create textiles that would invite people into their homes. The collection consists of three carpets and a blanket that explore a weaving technique called looping. The tactile fabrics were made for different parts of the home, as different spaces dictate different materials. They also act as transitions from one space to another. For example, the use of outdoor material and soft material in one of the carpets reflects the transition from entrance to living space.
