This textile design by Signe was created in collaboration with the Leebecca Studio based in New York City. The digital ornamental artwork was influenced by a study of interior fabrics and the three-dimensional effect created by curtain pleats.

The inspiration for this piece came from the medieval French tapestries of the Lady and the Unicorn that symbolised the five senses and a sixth – the heart – that controlled the others. The heart is represented in this design by a rose. The piece was made on a vintage industrial Jacquard knitting machine from 1984 using the cross-over lingerie technique with inverted colours on each side.

Using Icelandic yarns, this piece is a fusion textile merging Turkish carpet knots with the Scandinavian rya tradition of wool rugs with a long pile. Central to its inspiration was the long body-memory hypothesis: the ability of the body to store memories. The fur-like fabric, TOUCH, evokes sensorial experiences, recalling human layers of invisible fur, showing how our living skin is a direct passage to our inner life.

This piece interprets a painting by Astrid Holm in the National Gallery of Denmark’s permanent collection. The explosion of flowers depicted in the tapestry is a way of expressing the theme of emancipation presented in the painting, which is also core to Holm’s life story. The piece was made on a vintage industrial Jacquard knitting machine from 1984 using the cross-over lingerie technique with inverted colours on each side.
