Personal profile As a textile designer I mostly work with different weaving and breading techniques where technology, traditional methods and combining different materials are a key element. I'm interested in structure design and experimetal fabrics as well as textile design for interiors and furniture.

About the project My master thesis project was inspired by the Thonet No.14 chair, from which I highlighted the caned seat that was made like the traditional octagonal surface and also the wooden bent frame. With improvements in the octagonal woven surface, I also explored further possibilities within the structure itself. The collection of the new structures was developed by keeping the characteristic elements of the original ones like the typical pattern and the 45° and 90° angle of the crossing threads. In these new structures the different materials were merged into a new system. The two implemented experimental furniture are giving an option of how to apply these structures in 3D, which are envisioning an interactive, children’s furniture as further possibilities. The wooden frames were made by veneer with a vacuum-press method and these frames were woven together with high quality carbonized felt that was made by the finest merino wool.
