Author Description

Besides exhibitions and research, the Netherlands' TextielMuseum houses a laboratory for innovation in textiles: TextielLab. With its fleet of modern looms, 3D knitting machines, and high-tech yarns, the lab facilitates pioneering new technologies and techniques by international designers and craftspeople. Their artistic vision becomes physical reality in this yearbook, which features special projects and collaborations in fields ranging from interiors to fashion, and highlights work by Aiko Tezuka, Viktor & Rolf, Jessie Lecomte, Claes Iversen, Studio Formafantasma, and more. The book also includes a section on young talent and education, plus a special insert, 'TextielLab in Depth'.
