Abstract
As an interaction of multiple domains including design, the furniture industry may valorise in furniture ornamentation the traditional motifs, and could encourage the creativity of designers to develop original products with a modern design, based on the digitalized technology. The article presents an example of applying CAD-CAM-CAE tools for analysing the possibility of transposing traditional motifs from the textile heritage to the furniture decoration, and to select the appropriate CNC routing method and tool in order to obtain an ornament as close as possible to the original one. Traditional motifs (rose, tulip, bird, North Star) selected from the textile heritage of Ţara Bârsei - a historical and ethnographic region of Transylvania - were drawn in a digital format, using CorelDraw and AutoCAD programs, and then imported for a simulation of CNC routing process on wooden materials, using the software vCarvePro 9.519 developed by Vectric, with two types of tools and two processing methods, namely engraving (Engrave) and carving (VCarve). Following the simulation and the analysis of the obtained images, both visually and by ImageJ software, it was assessed which method is suitable for each ornament, considering also the processing times indicated by the simulation process of the models.
Highlights
The textile heritage is a component of the cultural identity of a nation and each generation has the duty to preserve it and to transmit it to the generations
Considering that the main purpose of the textile conservators is to slow the process of deterioration, several researchers [2] conducted a study aimed at digitally reconstruction of old textile fragments
The aim of this paper is to propose an analyse method for transposing the traditional motifs originated from an important textile heritage from Romania into furniture decoration, based on digital technologies and image analysis software, which provide the necessary information to select the right processing method and tool and to obtain the best variant of ornament from the aesthetic point of view, close to the original one
Summary
The textile heritage is a component of the cultural identity of a nation and each generation has the duty to preserve it and to transmit it to the generations. The textile heritage creates a sensitive, tactile and visual world and reflects the society values. It is an indicator of changes in time with regard to raw materials, techniques and dyes. The finesse of the fabrics, their patterns and motifs indicates the way of dressing and living, traditional mentalities and new fashion trends for each historical period of time [1].
