Creative director and educator Maarit Salolainen’s teaching practice and design expertise come together in ‘Interwoven’, a book which tells textural, tactile stories through textiles. Simply put, it offers an introduction to the core of constructed textile design by encouraging the exploration of woven structures and their interplay with different materials. The publication also illustrates a new pedagogical method for woven textile design studies: from basic weave structures to multi-layered constructions and digital jacquard design; from experimenting and exploring to industrial manufacturing; and from conceptual to professionally coordinated fabric collections.
