Waffle Gradients
2020 - Current
An ongoing series exploring three-dimensional textiles that stimulate a natural habitat within interior environments.
Using color as a communicator, each piece becomes a sensory experience as relief waffle patterns rise and fall in a gradient fiber landscape; a window that provides a vista of meditation where humanity can dive deeper into the collectively undiscovered self.
All work is made using AVL Dobby Looms
Designing for sound
Most spaces are designed for the eye, and rarely for the ear, yet sound shapes how a room feels, often before it registers.
Anya Molyviatis' woven structures treat acoustics as material: dense, three-dimensional textile absorbs and softens sound, quieting a room’s hard edges and gathering a stillness around the work.
SELECTED COMMISSION
Financial Services 2025
Commissioned for a public lobby, this work treats textile as architecture. Woven densely and in three dimensions, its surface shifts color and light across the room, and because dense woven fiber absorbs and softens sound, it quiets the space it lives in.
A material that changes how a room feels, not only how it looks.
HOW IT IS MADE
Woven on a 40-harness dobby loom, each piece is built from thousands of mohair and cotton threads into a deep, three-dimensional waffle, a depth a standard loom can't reach. Soft and thick, the structure is as much an acoustic panel as an artwork: on the wall it absorbs and scatters sound, softening the room around it.
