Dash & Miller + Jessica Garvey Birch
The Company
Dash & Miller is an international woven textile studio, working across the textiles industry’s trend, design, and manufacturing sectors. They produce made to order fabric using recycled and responsibly sourced yarns.
Jessica Garvey Birch is a Digital 3D Design and Development Consultant.
R&D Focus:
The Virtual Mill will develop a circular woven fabric from the fibre-up to test, refine, and showcase online. This fabric will be presented to the market as a customizable woven textile via the virtual platform – a single digital sample that can be collaborated online to minimize waste.
We intend to create a platform to meet the clients’ needs within a digital space without losing the tangible quality of their design whilst streamlining the process of designing sustainably.
The project will launch in autumn 2021.
