Nominees 2020: Textiles

Winner!
Studio Supersju X Carl Malmsten

Studio Supersju is a woven interpretation of Carl Malmsten’s furniture and philosophy. The works challenge contemporary weaving and use the shop as a platform to reintroduce contemporary crafts into our everyday objects. The group made seven rugs, all based on a common theme, from 3D pieces with fibre optics to colour effects where the twist of the yarn de-termines the shade. The purpose of the group includes passing on technical and material skills, and together they create platforms for communicating the craft of weaving to the public.

A new take on lace stitching and a marriage between lace and felted wool, where sheer meets compact. The technique offers recycling potential with the use of waste pieces and used leather products.
