Published by Vitra Design Museum Gmbh, 2001. Soft cover, first edition. Size: 24 x 30 cm / 112 pages — Published in conjunction with the A-POC MAKING exhibition in 2001 held at Vitra Design Museum, Berlin. A-POC is an acronym for “A Piece of Cloth”, also referring to the word ‘epoch’ developed by Miyake Design Studio's textile technology developer, Dai Fujiwara. A-POC is based on the possibility of producing endless lengths of new fabric with previously unknown properties with the help of computer-programmed machines. Patterns can be worked into the textile, and a sophisticated system of links and holes between the two sides of the tube allows the user to cut out seamless clothing from the fabric in different variations. Some of the fabrics can be cut at any point due to the strict matrix of warp and wefts sewn in the shape of the human body. This book dissects that multitude of formula's through literature, diagrams and images. Clothing becomes science; it is dissected and redefined from its beginnings. This book is a rare glimpse into the laboratory of Issey Miyake and Dai Fujiwara. Excellent condition
