Dezeen promotion: material manufacturer 3form has unveiled Horizon, a collection of partition panels to create zoning and privacy while still allowing light through.
The panels are made by combining woven textiles with 3form's translucent resin called Varia, which allows users to "play with colour, texture and light, and leverage the beauty of textiles," according to the brand.
The collection aims to leverage the beauty of textiles
"As more shared spaces adopt natural materials and cosy atmospheres, the Horizon collection contributes depth, warmth, and variety to the sleek surfaces popular from 3form," said 3form.
"The collection artfully balances privacy and togetherness with vertical surfaces that diffuse natural light and bring unexpected warmth and texture to communal spaces." Horizon's colours are inspired by changing light in the sky at dusk and dawn
The embedded textile is crafted with irregular yarns woven together.
The fabric is woven more delicately at the top so that the panels become increasingly translucent.

"The Horizon textiles become more delicate and interspersed as they ascend, permitting natural light and visual connectivity while standing and discretion while seated," said 3form.
The collection is by Christian Darby, 3form's vice president of design, who joined the brand in 2017, having previously worked in apparel design at Nike.
