Professor Hitoshi Ujiie Featured in The Cooper-Hewitt
National Design Triannual 2006
Hitoshi Ujiie’s work
is an exploration of the aesthetic
implications of digital inkjet
printing for textiles, which
is bringing about profound
changes in the design approach
for this medium. Working in
the virtual realm has allowed
artists and designers to collect,
produce, and manipulate images
in new ways, playing freely
with detail and focus, color
effects, and combined or layered
images.

Tom Scott Featured
in The Cooper-Hewitt
National Design
Triannual 2006
Scott, who began his career
as an accessories designer
for Ralph Lauren, designs knitwear
that expands and challenges
our notions of this most traditional

eccentric range of sources
for inspiration, including
medical reference books, knitting
history books, vintage dress
patterns, the human anatomy,
and topographical maps. “I
don’t really find inspiration
from what’s in fashion,” he
says. “I look more at
things like the architecture
of the human body, while experimenting
with knit construction.”
