Open Structures
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 […]
Transferring textile design knowledge to bioplastic composites
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 […]

Crafting butterfly lace- Conductive Multi-color sensor-Actuator Structure
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 […]

Coffee & spring green (beech, horse chestnut and vingloka)
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 […]
