Radiant Textiles: A framework for designing with electromagnetic phenomena
Erin Lewis Licentiate Thesis: http://hb.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1586359/FULLTEXT01.pdf Abstract [en] The design of smart, interactive, computational, and electronic textiles involves working with unknown variables that expand the tangible dimensions of textiles. Non-visual concepts such as electromagnetic fields, electrical current, computational code, and the temporal attributes of materials that exhibit dynamic qualities require that textile designers be able to […]
Around Over Between Up…: Spatial properties as variables in textile design_PhD thesis
Tonje Kristensen Johnstone, The Swedish School of Textiles Abstract With a starting point in defining space through materials, colours, planes, and surfaces, the aim of the work presented in this thesis was to explore and introduce spatial concepts as design variables in textile design. Another aim was to explore surface patterns in terms of their […]
Wearing Sound : The Foundations of Sonic Design_PhD thesis
Vidmina Stasiulyte, phd student ArcintexETN(www.arcintexetn.eu) and The Swedish School of Textiles University of Borås Abstract Fashion is primarily a visual ontology consisting of definitions, theory and methods that are based on visual language. This research revises fashion by approaching it from a different—sonic—perspective wherein sound is considered not as a negative aspect but as a […]
On the textility of smell in spatial design_PhD thesis
Jyoti Kapur, PhD student ArcintexETN(www.arcintexetn.eu) and The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås Abstract The ocular-centric approach predominant in the field of design, particularly textile and spatial design, focuses on visual aesthetics and visually mediated interactions. Whereas the non-visual materialities of a space, such as smells, are ignored in the design process, meaning that […]
Changeability as a quality in textile design
Riikka Talman Licentiate Thesis Abstract The tendency to wear out and change is inherent in most materials, but – aside from a few exceptions – has been considered to be undesirable by both the industry and consumers. The work presented in this licentiate thesis suggests that, due to change in some form being an inherent […]
On Textile Farming: Seeds as Material for Textile Design_Svenja Keune
Presently, designing with living systems such as insects, fungi and bacteria has become an area of extended interest, proposing collaborative processes of designing and manufacturing – as a solution for symbiotic ways of living. On the scale of the interior, modern systems for interior gardening, combining both functional, e.g., food supply, purifying the […]
On textile printing with thermochromic inks
This thesis describes an exploration of the principles of applying leuco dye-based inks to textile design practice. The main motivation has been to explore the design properties and potentials of leuco dye-based thermochromic inks when printed […]

Composing over time, temporal patterns – in Textile Design
ABSTRACT The work presented in this thesis is a first attempt investigating a new field, exploring the visual effects of movement using light as a continuous time-based medium. Composing over time, temporal patterns – in Textile Design is a practice based research project that investigates the following research question: What does it mean, if time […]
