In an industry which is saturated with products, it is of great importance to me as a textiledesigner, to be able to justify the relevance of the products I am developing.
Therefore, I used theories from the books Aesthetic Sustainability by Kristine Harper and Start With Why by Simon Sinek, to argue for my choices in creating a machine knitted textile for Rikke Frost, who gave me feedback during the project.
Through detailed textile tests and evaluations, I have created a textile consisting of three different knitted constructions, which later can be integrated in a 3D-knitted seat for the chair.
For this we need help from the industry, and therefore the chair has not been fully developed and published yet. So, we can not yet show pictures of the prototype, but instead I show some of the textile samples below.
