Lorraine Francis CEO of Cadiz Collaboration
ABOUT CADIZ Cadiz Collaboration is a collective of architects, designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries… a studio of diverse individuals sharing one creative journey in the belief that we are more effective and innovative together than we are apart. While we are drawn to the poetic expression of conceptual ideas, at the core, we are enthusiastic problem-solvers who, because of our diversity, are unafraid of crossing disciplines and traditional boundaries in search of satisfying, innovative and economical solutions. Each project is unique and so too are the processes by which we arrive at the built conclusion. It is our goal to leverage the tools and resources available to us to realize optimal aesthetic and functional results for our clients.
CONFLUENCE
CONNECTIONS THROUGH NATURE The framework for our Zavi 2021 Spring textile collection is deeply Biophilic. We fundamentally need nature to function and thrive, but we’ve often designed our environments in ways that overlook and alienate us from it. Biophilic design aims to connect our inherent need to be with nature to our everyday environments. With this collection, we subconsciously connect these disparate realities, bringing the beauty and form of the outdoors into our modern built world. Confluence weaves organic textures, movement, flow, and colors from nature into the built environment, strengthening our natural connections.
NATURE INSPIRED
The Confluence collection presents patterns with varying techniques, textures, details, and scale. With inspiration drawn from a variety of organic elements, each selection seeks to ground and complement the designer’s vision for the space by bringing in natural references.
TEXTURE
In any work of art, texture refers to the tactile nature of the surface quality. Nature provides textural references through every object and element, infusing vitality and a sense of realism to each design in our collection.
In Confluence, movement is a key element in various patterns, reflecting the process of growth and metamorphosis in nature over time. Mirroring and interpreting patterns of natural movement brings a sense of ease and honesty to the designs.
MOVEMENT
FLOW
Another important aspect of our collection is flow. Flow is about directionality, and gently leading the eye from one area to another. While patterns of flow can appear different on a surface level, they invariably create harmonious balance and reveal similar structures.
COLOR Nature provides a perfect departure point for creating color harmony within design. Intentional color application helps each Confluence textile fully come to life. Color can attract attention, create a mood, and influence our emotions and perceptions.
