Textile Design bringing a Brighter Future: Abeer Seikaly, Weaving a Home

You can see her inspiration from snake skin and weaving in the construction of these tents
A mobile living space that folds easy for transport, collects rainwater and solar energy, and is 4 season capable? It seems like an impossible dream, but for Abeer Seikaly, a mission she has made a reality. 

Since graduating from RISD in 2002, Seikaly has worked with organizations worldwide to bring innovation and beauty to the realms of architecture, textiles, fashion, and art.
