From way back Aleksandra Gaca is fascinated by three dimensional weave structures and through the years this fascination has become more and more prominent in het work. She experiments with weaves she develops herself as well as with unusual materials. She combines technical qualities with a highly developed touch for material, dimension and beauty. Under her hands grow fabrics that are as innovative as delightfull and waver at the boundaries between autonomous art, design and three dimensional design.
Her inspiration she draws from abstract architectural concepts as structure and repetition as well as from more dynamic concepts as dance, drama and movement. Thanks to her broad use of materials -from soft mohair to super strong monofilament- her high tech fabrics are widely applicable In the past few years her work gradually developed in two directions. On the one hand is her personal passion, her quest for three dimensional textile, on the other is the more commercial designs she makes for the bigger textile companies.
The personal passion resulted in the SLUMBER collection. Soft caressing fabrics in beautiful combinations of colours, three dimensional through a structure of ripples, ovals, triangles. These are made into a series of scarves in two variations. One is narrow with longitudinal ripples, robust, nice and long, the other is a 'never ending' tube that smoothly adjusts itself to the body and can be worn in very many ways. Exclusive products that are brought out on Gaca's own account and sold in a number of carefully selected shops.
More recently Gaca developed, also on her own account, ARCHITEXTILE, a collection of decorative, acoustic fabrics. It is this latter quality that, in combination with a robust firmness, makes these fabrics particularly qualified to be used as wall covering in an architectural space or as exclusive, autonomous interior objects, like a partition or screen.
Next to these collections that are brought on her own account, Gaca works, commissioned by commercial companies, on widely varying projects. She designs fabrics that are used for curtains and furniture, but also a great variety of other textile products like plaids, cushions, rugs.
Recently she developed for Hybrids+Fusion the Cosmos collection, innovative, much appraised, extremely dimensionalised interior textiles, and for the Danskina collection the Serene rug. Her extensive experience in the textile industry and her profound knowledge of weaving techniques make her widely employable and her work useful.

Textile designer Aleksandra Gaca (*1969) attends in Lodz (Poland), her place of birth, the High School of Plastic Arts. In 1992 she continues her education at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She graduates in 1997 with a collection of interior fabrics. For this collection she receives the 1st prize Forbo Project Tapijt Grant. Various grants from the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (Fonds BKVB) enable her to develop her research on three dimensional weave structures. Since then her much appraised, experimental textiles designs have earned her a number of international awards. She lives and works as independend textile designer in Delft. Her fabrics are included in several consumer collections.
