Structural design is the design made by size, form, colour and texture to create a 3-dimensional object in space, or a 2-dimensional drawing of that object worked out on paper.
Requirements of a good structural design:
- Apart from being beautiful, a good structural design should suit its purpose.
- Should be simple.
- be well proportioned
- Should be suitable to the material
Structural designs in textiles are achieved in the construction of the fabric by:
(i) Combining different types of yarn and their arrangements,
(ii) Using different weaves and their variations
(iii) Knitting and its variations
Most of the true structural designs are permanent. A damask table cloth, for example, will never lose its design, though of course its beauty, luster, and colourfastness will depend on the quality of fabric construction, yarn and dye.
