Lambrate: Twistin’ of Sweden – Surfaces and Structures from the North. Twistin of Sweden brings together creative play, authentic craftsmanship
and textile innovation. They offer a unique and stimulating encounter
between the art of Swedish weaving and international fashion, handwork and
interior design, tradition and the future.
Twistin’ of Sweden. “We want to stretch the
boundaries around weaving and its traditional associations. This is not
just about material and technique, but also about what woven textiles can be
used for, once you dare to pull out all the stops.
A woven cloth is generally
viewed as a two-dimensional surface. We are interested in exploring new
textures and three-dimensional structure to broaden both the visual expression
and the tactile quality of the material. Weaving is quite simply the
interlacing of two thread systems at right angles to each other. This can
be achieved in an infinite number of ways, a creative process that determines
whether the outcome is a light, transparent linen curtain or a design object
made from recycled plastic cord.”
