Nordic textile simplicity

  • • Timmi is inspired by the landscape of Bornholm
  • • She explores ancient Nordic knitting techniques in her practice
  • • To her, simplicity in material, design and expression is important

Timmi B. Kromann is a master knitter and the owner of Kokolores, located in Svaneke on Bornholm, the most remote island in Denmark. She specialises in handcrafting simplicity and functionality in her knitwear. Timmi is a graduate of the Bornholm Textile College. She works with ancient knitting techniques and uses wool almost as a symbolic material of Scandinavian textile heritage. Timmi conducts extensive material research and has developed a contemporary expression in both her serial production and her limited creations. In her serial productions, she creates long-lasting items, focusing on form and constantly trying to challenge materials and techniques in search for individual expression. With her one-off pieces, Timmi takes a bold artistic step and merges her technical prowess with her fascination for nature.
