In the hot seat: Designers weave their magic

‘We wanted to be inspired by the found pieces,’ Hallgren tells LS:N Global. ‘We experimented with different techniques, rethinking how the fabric might look by turning it back into yarn and weaving a new piece.’

Exhibiting at Heimtextil in halls 4.2, stand H90, Lum! presented different ways of taking over the structure of a chair, adapting textile techniques to the seat, back and leg. They even adapted a chair and table top to make a thickly woven rug.

The Mix Mash of interwoven re-used fabrics translated into 3D forms illustrates Lum!’s experimental craftsmanship.

LS:N Global’s Emma Chiu is attending the Heimtextil exhibition in Frankfurt and will be reporting on the show throughout the week.
