Description

Alter’ is part of the Gathering series which is based on the dialogue between the artist and the weaver’s hand bringing together the yarn on the loom, leaving a trace of transition. Each piece is the area where the yarn is manually knotted together. This gives the rug a naturally unpredictable and playful character. While normally these parts of the weaving process are thrown away, they are brought together in a series to reflect the human side within industrial manufacturing processes. Each piece is unique and finished by hand with great care. Between is made out of Sisal, a strong and sustainable fibre and has a strong graphic expression. The piece was made with the support of Tasibel natural fibre flooring

About the designer

Bram Van Breda

The textile work of Bram Van Breda is a continuous exploration of our surroundings and the active role matter plays within our everyday lives. With a background in graphic and textile design, Van Breda uses tactility and form as a mediator between the space or context he’s studying and the viewer-user. His work is often related to the act of removing, recovering, and redefining. For his rug series, Van Breda works together with the Belgium Sisal weaver Tasibel Natural Fibre Flooring. Each piece is a unique and made with the leftovers of the manufacturing process. It are transition zones in the weaving process that result into a graphic and unpredictable rug, which Van Breda finishes by hand with great care. In this way he tries to build a bridge between the fast evolving textile industry and traditional craft.

Presenting “PROXIMITY”, a collection created in collaboration with Southern Sweden Design Days showcasing a selection of new work from ten designers and studios. As a whole, the collection contemplates the notion of proximity, interconnection, and belonging. Whether through contemporary references to traditional crafts techniques; the use of locally sourced materials such as wool, lichen, steel, and wood; or playful visualisations of the notion itself, the selected pieces illustrate the importance of closeness, interconnection, and kinship in uncertain times. Featuring pieces by Andrea Santivanez, Andréason & Leibel, Ebba Lindgren, Förstberg Ling, Jóna Berglind Stefánsdóttir, Lab La Bla, Lisa Darland, Louise Hederström, Moa Lönn, and Studio M. Organised by Form/Design Center in Malmö, Sweden, Southern Sweden Design Days is an annual event currently in its second edition, which highlights sustainability, collaboration, development, and innovation in design. This year’s theme, as described by the event organisers, “[reflects] on the notion of being close – the connection between people, cities, countries, species, professions, etc”. The physical exhibition of “PROXIMITY” will take place at Lokstallarna, Södra Bulltoftavägen 51, 212 22 Malmö from 19 - 22 May 2022.
