Eugène van Veldhoven

Eugène van Veldhoven has explored new textile surface treatments
for more than a decade. One developing trend which dates from
the 1990s merges high technology with “low” technology, or hand
techniques. Van Veldhoven’s forecasts from this period illustrate
the many directions the industry has followed since the computer
“revolution” made inroads into the education and manufacturing
segments of the textile establishment.
These swatches were developed as trend forecasts for the
publication View: Textile View Magazine. Serving as inspiration and
indicators of change for the textile and fashion industries, van
Veldhoven’s collections looked to issues of weather and climate
change as well as corporate branding and individual identity, always
with a bit of humor and irony.
