This weaving by Simone Prouvé consists entirely of dyneema, a form of polyethylene known for its high-strength level. It is seen used for nautical equiment, as well as for military and emergency supplies. Of all high-performance fibers, dyneema delivers the lowest carbon footprint per unit strength. Prouvé was very aware of the environmental impact of her fibres, choosing materials that she considered less harmful and toxic. Controlling this highly resistant and robust fibre in her weaving, exhibits the level of expertise and craftsmanship Prouvé attained over the years.
By creating abstract lines and shapes, Prouvé allows us to freely interpret the design of her weaving, much like seeing shapes in clouds passing through the sky. The shades of blue and silver add to the cool, flowing appearance of the piece.
