Degree project in exhibition at Svenskt Tenn
October 03, 2024
A degree project from Product design
Svea Tisell developed the armchair as her graduation project from the Design Program in May 2024. She used the three-dimensional weaving technique multiwave to create an entire piece of furniture from a continuous thread.
The project explores the dynamics of the encounter between man and object, and whether textiles can take product design and support a body without the support of other materials. The armchair shows a vision that redefines manufacturing methods for upholstered furniture through experimentation with different materials and forms.
Swedish Tenn Design Scholarship 2024
For the project, she received the Swedish Tenn Design Scholarship, which is based on the three criteria of Quality, Sustainability and Good product design. "Svea's armchair shows that there are other ways of creating furniture than the classic ones. An incredibly exciting experiment created through a well-thought-out manufacturing method," read the motivation. Read more about the grant here.
Exhibition October 3-13
For the exhibition, Svea Tisell has continued to explore technology to create new and unexpected furniture. See the armchair and its siblings Åttan, Sexton and Robban in an exhibition at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm from October 3-13.
