The Domestic Landscape
The Domestic LandscapeTextile design and material experiment
Nominated for Heden Award 2018
The project, titled The Domestic Landscape, is a reflection of how we use our everyday objects. By
deconstructing, reconstructing, and adding textile-designed values, I want to highlight the potential for
our used objects. I see these everyday objects as material that is shared and engaged in our life routine.
All these objects are presented as possibilities of how we can reuse our existing resources. In order to
increase not only the lifespan but also our emotional connection to the object.
