wool — from wearable to structural

Background: Southern Sweden Design Days is an international design festival held annually in Malmö. It highlights sustainability, collaboration, and innovation through exhibitions, talks, and workshops across multiple design disciplines. Organised by Form/Design Center, it connects designers, institutions, and audiences from around the world.

Personal “skin” vs collective structure: Tons of Swedish wool are discarded every year. In collaboration with Science Park Borås, we examined wool processes to create complex products with new functions and purposes. Fashion science represents the singular and personal, the flexible surface and outer “skin.” Architecture stands for the collective and lasting — together they define a new material language where clothing becomes construction and wool finds new life.
