Rainbow recognizes that textiles play a role in our sensory experience and should be considered this way in the design process. Who will be touching it, looking at it, and operating the beautiful custom fabrications? How can we (the interior design industry) connect with our local community through the use of textiles in custom design? These are all questions that help guide the selection process, Thanks to the Connect Society for bringing a unique perspective to the role we play as a local maker and textiles fabricator. The way we connect to our local community helps to have a thriving local community. That is why Rainbow is a sponsor of this Sensory Gala.
