Custom SciCanvas Piece

Turn your scientific image into a custom piece

Bring your scientific image into a wearable or textile piece with a story. SciCanvas develops each custom piece from real research imagery, with attention to scientific meaning, visual rhythm, and how the final object will be used.

Who This Is For

Custom work for researchers, institutions, and science enthusiasts

This is for people and organizations who want a scientific image to become more than a print. The aim is to create a piece that keeps the image, its context, and its memory connected.

Individual scientists

For milestones, gifts, or personal projects connected to your own scientific image.

Labs and universities

For conference pieces, delegation gifts, research anniversaries, or stories connected to a lab or institute.

Organizations and companies

For projects where the scientific image, the context, and the final object should feel like they belong together.

What Can Be Created

A selective range of textile formats

You do not need to know the exact format at the beginning. SciCanvas usually works with a focused range — scarves, ties, pocket squares, skirts, tops, and selected accessories — and the best format can be chosen around the image, the story, and how the piece will be used.

Prices are starting points. The final price depends on the scientific image, textile format, material, production complexity and number of pieces. The price reflects both the finished object and the design process required to transform scientific material into a wearable piece.

Materials

The fabric is chosen around the object: how it should move, how opaque it should be, how much detail should remain visible, and what kind of surface will suit the image. SciCanvas uses digitally printed textiles suitable for the final format.

How It Works

From image and context to finished textile piece

The process usually begins with your image and a few words of context. From there, we can suggest a direction, develop the textile design, and coordinate production after you approve the direction.

Step 1

Share the image and context

You send the image and a few words about why it matters, who it is for, and what kind of piece you imagine.

Step 2

Translation and proposal

We review the image and suggest a design direction, textile format, and next step.

Step 3

Development

The image is developed into a textile-ready design, with attention to scientific meaning, visual rhythm, and how the piece will be used.

Step 4

Production

Once the direction is approved, the piece is produced in the agreed format and quantity.

Things to Keep in Mind

A few practical considerations

  • We review each inquiry individually to better understand the image, the context, and what kind of piece might work.
  • The strongest projects usually begin with images that have both visual structure and a story worth carrying into textile form.
  • Timelines depend on scope, quantity, and production format.

Why People Use This Route

Image, context, and object stay connected

  • Both personal and institutional inquiries are welcome when the image has a story, context, or scientific connection.
