Fabric formwork is a construction technique that involves the use of structural membranes as the primary finishing material for concrete molds. Unlike traditional formwork, this material is highly flexible and can deflect under the pressure of fresh concrete. 

The resulting form exhibits curvature as well as good surface treatment, which is usually independent of concrete structures.

This work will be based on material testing and will be presented as a
household item, taking into account the integration of the work with the
surrounding environment.
