Fabric Form Future (Exit 25) explores the aesthetic ideals of textiles in contemporary society, shaped by the latest technological developments in knitting, weaving, and printing.
The textile worlds proposed by the graduating students in textile design at the Swedish School of Textiles enable new interactions, experiences, and behaviors through material engagement with the surrounding environment. These cutting-edge design works investigate the relationships between humans, technology, and nature, drawing on complex systems of thought that connect innovation, artistic practice, craftsmanship, modes of production, societal values, and ways of living. The works are visionary, emphasizing the importance of nurturing a sustainable ecosystem where artistic expression, design methodology, technological advancement, and the ethics of care coexist and inform contemporary textile and material design practice.
