Weaving is a craft that dates back to ancient times. In pre-Columbian times these pieces were elaborated for multiple purposes: clothing, offerings, tribute, exchanges (their value was on a par with gold), etc. The pieces obtained were full of meaning and art that embodied culture and language.
During medieval times, looms hardly changed their appearance and operation, while they became indispensable to create pieces to combat the cold and distinguish social classes. It was in 1589 when the Scottish clergyman William Lee, developed what we could consider “the father of the modern loom”, although it had only a prototype and did not become popular until the arrival of the Industrial Revolution.
From the middle of the XVIII century, an uninterrupted progress was evidenced that reaches our days with the automation of the loom, gaining in power and capacity of adaptation to the requirements. The introduction of new raw materials made it a key machine in the textile industry.
Source of Inspiration
And that’s where the inspiration comes from. At Kriskadecor, from an aluminum thread, we manufacture our small links that, joined together, form an infinite chain that is stored on large spools, emulating those of the thread, although taking up much more space.
We have already explained how we carry out the anodizing and coloring process of the links and how one of our strong points is the adaptation of images. This specialization gives us a great differentiation and the possibility to offer our customers a total customization of their projects.
This is how we not only create smooth compositions, but we can also generate gradients, patterns or any type of image proposed by the client, transforming each pixel into a link. And we do this thanks to our own technology, inspired by the operation of ancient looms, where long chains of links of different colors are combined to create authentic works of art woven as in the past.
