Berlin-based textile and product designer Orsi Orban has taken the age old art of weaving and given it a technological upgrade. MINTA is modular structure system based on weaving, but translated into a modular multi-layered surface. The unique resulting design is customizable, thanks to the use of 3D software and laser cutting. In the end, the modular system must be assembled by hand – as if harkening back to its origins.
The potential of MINTA is near endless, with its versatility possible through a range of patterns, sizes, shapes and materials used. Think architecture, interior design, product design, fashion and more. The only real parameter is that the chosen material must have a certain amount of flexibility and tensile strength – which led to the creation of specialized wooden laminates and textile laminate.
