STUDIO SAMIRA BOON

Studio Samira Boon is a textile architecture studio that creates flexible environments. We advise and collaborate with clients, architects and institutes, to produce site-specific solutions. Our adaptive and interactive structures improve the use and experience of spaces, acoustics, climate and energy. We are based in Amsterdam and Tokyo.

ALIVE ARCHITECTURE

Our work is united by the conviction that healthy environments should  be flexible and dynamic, just like natural systems are. Our textile solutions contribute to an architecture that is  sustainable, future-proof, and interactive; architecture that acts as a living ecosystem.

Taking influence from our relationship with Japan, we have a strong focus on high tech origami folding  techniques.

Embedded origami patterns act as mathematical translations of natural processes. They afford natural movement characteristics, growth and metamorphosis, and accommodate optimisation of material usage.

RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Through novel and innovative technology, we reinterpret these high tech folding techniques into computer weaving models, implementing the origami patterns straight into the fabrics. Our uniquely developed computational weaving processes results in authentic materialisation and  innovative origami structures.

Simulating processes found in nature, these flexible and adaptive  interior textile installations can accommodate and regulate spatial circulation, efficient energy usage, and acoustic ambience according to the changing need of the user.  

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

We are aware that the textile industry is a major contributor to climate change. Determined to change this, we actively work towards a circular textile system by investigating environmentally friendly options. Through material research, we are developing and attaining new insight into sustainable innovations and conscious materials.  We are challenged by regulations but having our material research being in both experimental and applied states, we see that using our biobased materials as interior elements on an architectural scale can be well within reach. 

 

We implement textile waste streams.

We design biobased materials.

We develop lab grown materials.

CLIENTS & PARTNERS

We collaborate with forward-thinking architects, clients, and institutes with a  specific need or vision in mind. Building on our expertise in the material properties of textiles while working together with the clients, that fulfil the client's site-specific goal. 

 

We host and partake in multidisciplinary research groups by bringing together passionate people with diverse perspectives and an eagerness to discover new  solutions, connections, and original ideas.
