Structure and Material, 2023

The students’ assignment was to create wearable MultiWeave forms. We used upcycled yarns from the company Aardla Kaubandus.

The goal of the master’s thesis was to create a three-dimensional textile inspired by ornament as a structure in the MultiWeave technique and to test its suitability for use in a room. The suitability for use in a room was judged more on the characteristics of the material used in creating the textile rather than the appearance of the textile.
