Fabric Form Future highlights textile design graduates
Fabric Form Future captures the aesthetic ideals of textiles in our society, which are informed by the latest technological developments in textiles, such as knitting, weaving, and printing. The proposed textile world by the graduates in textile design at the Swedish School of Textiles facilitates novel interactions, experiences, and behaviors with the surrounding world through textiles. Examples of cutting-edge design works represent relations between humans, technology, and nature informed by complex systems of thinking that relate innovation, artistic practices, craftsmanship, modes of production, societal values, and ways of living. The works are visionary and highlight the importance of fostering a sustainable ecosystem where artistic work, design methodology, technology, and the ethics of care coexist harmoniously and inform the material/textile design practice.
