Rikka Talman The project focused on exploring in what way a textile´s expression could change and how these dynamic qualities affect the way the textiles are manipulated. Knitted fabrics were developed with the aim of leaving their dynamic qualities open for other designers to work further with. Three fabrics with qualities ranging from subtle […]
Linnéa Nilsson The Open Structures project explores the transformability of 3D printed textiles, and aims to discover if some of the openness that characterizes the CAD-modelled digital form also can be become part of the printed materials qualities. The outcome so far consists of two experimental prototypes that can […]
Delia Dumitrescu Marjan Kooroshnia Riikka Townsend Linda Worbin This project explores the design potential of bioplastic composites; we explore ways to integrate textile methods when designing bioplastics. We created full colour ranges based on conventional textile and natural dyes but we also explore methods for surface texturing based on new technologies, e.g laser cutting or 3d […]
Delia Dumitrescu(the Swedish School of Textiles) and Manuel Kretzer(Institute of Technology in Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, ETH) workshop on electroluminescence print The results of the workshop can be seen at: http://materiability.com/luminous-textiles/
Kristi Kuusk, Marjan Kooroshnia and Jussi Mikkonen The development of Butterfly Lace started and carried on as an extension of ArcinTex network workshop (Arcintex, 2014). Multi disciplinary team of researchers collaborated while situated in three countries, to realize conductive multi-color sensor-actuator structure. Over several prototyping sessions, Skype conversations and e-mail exchange, the lace is made […]

Plant dyeing in the Botanical Garden, Lund, May 24, 2015 We have chosen to color with plants from the botanical garden, plants that otherwise would be become wood chips or compost. This week a horse chestnut was cut down (because of the risk of collapse), and a beech has been culled and everywhere “vinglokan” pops […]

Woven light is organized by the 3rd year students in textile design.
Conductive Twisted Cord Twisted Cords are often used in the traditional goldwork. Conductive Twisted Cord is a fine example of mixing traditional techniques with modern materials. This technique allows quickly and securely connect electronics in an aesthetical manner. Making the Conductive Twisted Cord Fold the conductive thread in half and place the loop on a […]
The traditional techniques and materials developed by crafters for thousand years are perfectly suited for the E-embroidering. Materials used for goldwork are made from metal that makes them conductive. Below you will find some guidelines that explain how to use conductive thread, cord and purl applications for the E-embroidering. Couching In embroidery, couching […]

It is possible to join the students presentation at Friday 1 November, 09.00 room T154 (the gallery) and during Friday 8 november, 09.00 room Vestindien 2 at […]
We had the opportunity to show staff and researchers from Konstfack (Stockholm, Sweden) around in our new building. Picture by Ann-Cathrine Andersson, Konstfack Friday 25 October 2013 Thanks for the visit!
PhD candidates exhibition in Ronse, Belgium at Textiles Open Innovation Centre, 14-18 October 2013 PhD candidates Tonje Kristensen, Delia Dumitrescu, Linnéa Nilsson and Marjan Kooroshnia attendes from Smart Textile Design Lab / The Swedish School of Textiles. During the exhibition they also attended the ArcIntex network meeting on the theme Playfulness and its transition […]
Transferring technological and service use cases to actual products. A two days workshop organized in collaboration with Philips on how to bring e-textiles to the market.

Will be presented by Marjan Kooroshnia at Nordes 2013/ 9th to 12th of Jun 2013 ABSTRACT: Although there are a lot of interest concerning the use of leuco dye-based thermochromic inks in Textile and Fashion Design, there is still a lack of teaching approach to help students arrive at a better understanding of the color […]
The 3rd Smart Textiles Salon will take place in Ghent, Belgium on 3 –6 June, 2013. The programme of the Salon consists of two parts. The first part includes lectures and a few workshops where the participants will make their own smart textile products. It is important to note that designer Evelyn Lebis, MA-graduate from Swedish School of Textiles […]

I strive to create a new approach for developing smart textiles. My main idea is to use the investigation of national identity as a base for developing smart textiles. Considering traditional textiles as a source of information about the socio-historical context wherein they were produced, I try to reproduce this information in smart textiles. I […]
It is an ongoing project to explore how body temperature could create temporary patterns on garment. This project indicates how temperature and interaction can influence a garment’s appearance by changing it constantly.
