TEXTILE NO. natural and multifunctional everyday textiles

TEXTILE NO. is a brand by Danish textile artist Karin Carlander. She works with functional textiles, because she thinks that the objects we handle in connection with everyday chores and activities should hold artistic value. TEXTILE NO. by karin carlander is based on three simple principles: sustainability, multifunctionality and a mix-and-match colour palette. All the textiles in the collection are woven or crocheted of 100% European linen spun from flax naturally grown in France.

The size of the textiles relates to a number; for example No. 6 measures 150 x 100 cm, No. 9 50 x 25 cm etc. The collection does not include a No. 1, as no number has more value in the collection than any other. Each No. comes in a variety of designs. The design may change, but the No. stays the same. photo: Jeff Hargrove

In her work, Karin Carlander reinterprets traditional Nordic crafts and the use of textiles for practical everyday purposes. She develops the designs in an experimental process that includes drawings as well as hands-on work on the loom and which always leaves room for serendipitous discoveries. photo: Jeff Hargrove
