The outer face of the fabric is made from a BIONIC polyester canvas. It is bonded to the thin GORE-TEX membrane and an inner protective mesh in polyester that has been solution-dyed before the yarn extrusion.
03 INTERVIEW
Contributors are asked a series of 100 interview questions, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, in an effort to define what makes the community distinct.
Question 07 of 100
What is your unrealised project?
Sometimes I think what would a fun A. G. Cook album be? And every time I do it I have versions that fall by the wayside.
Question 08 of 100
Do you have rituals?
I like keeping it simple. “Remember to go outside” kind of level.
Question 19 of 100
What are you reading?
Deep history. At least a thousand years ago.
Question 36 of 100
What is your favourite city in the world?
For a while I was a bit of a hater, but I’ve really gotten into London again.
Question 55 of 100
Who is the smartest person you know?
Tommy Cash.
Question 67 of 100
How willing are you to compromise?
It’s about trying to make the other person feel very comfortable.
Question 79 of 100
Describe your earliest memory?
I think I remember being taught how to construct sentences using little farm figurines. Hence my constant farming metaphors.
Question 81 of 100
What gives you hope?
Not really ever knowing things properly.
Question 85 of 100
What is the technology that has most improved your life?
I prefer a desktop to a smartphone, or a screen to a watch. I like that level of separation.
Question 90 of 100
What is a bad habit of yours that you’d like to change?
I definitely have a few. I can be in a bit of an only child kind of dreamland.
