ART OF PATTERNING

...linked and interlaced strands perpetually move and mold to organic shapes, hugging the forms as they bend and twist.

TEF Braids’ singular catalogue has been created through proprietary patterning textile technology, which guides reinvented Braiding machines capable of simultaneously handling myriad yarns and materials, including specially engineered hybrids. 
 
Within a single form, TEF’s precise patterned, linked, and interlaced filaments integrate seamless and infinite variations in texture, density, support, and stretch.  Unlike conventional mesh and net-like materials, TEF’s work exhibits natural tension distribution—expanding and contracting without the use of elasticized fibers. 
 
Advanced textiles are comprised of diversified zones with targeted characteristics.  Predetermined areas are programmed to demonstrate a range of resistance, durability, compressibility, and breathability as linked and interlaced strands perpetually move and mold to organic shapes, hugging the forms as they bend and twist.  These extraordinary fabrics have the capacity to expand up to 10x their diameter and can incorporate logos, apertures, laces, and tags.
