Professor Rab McClure exhibited a full-scale prototype of his Moth Wing Screen in June at the 2011 Nordic Design Research Conference in Helsinki, Finland. The Moth Wing Screen is a modular partition and design research project which was “inspired by contemporary Nordic design—characterized by fluidity of form, material innovation, tactile warmth, natural reference, and ties to a strong craft tradition…. The project and its description argue in favor of creating a role for softness in modern design, with softness defined in terms of form, surface, density, materiality and meaning.”
