During the month of December, IDTextile studio invite you to visit our HOME SWEET HOME. Room by room, post after post, find out about our furniture collection “handmade design”. In an effort to confront environmental and economic issues we have made a conscious decision to develop objects in accordance with a strong “make do” ethos whereby salvaged textiles and furniture are cleverly combined with all our creative know-how. “Cross-encounters” give rise to a collection of unique pieces, where a frail mirror might find protection under a crocheted cover, or where a damaged cane chair might be rescued by woven-in embroidery…each object and each scrap of material telling a story and their cross encounters being limited only by our (your) imagination.
Andi Strand is the founder and editor in chief of Antler Magazine which “…focuses on composing a collection of beautiful, inspiring ideas and designs from all aspects of life.” With contributors from Canada, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States, Antler is an online magazine with a fashion focus that casts a broad net encompassing aspects of art design, literature and culture.
Strand is a graduate of the Alberta College of Art + Design in Calgary Alberta and designs bags from recycled materials at HOAKON/HELGA
Scottish textile designer Angharad McLaren recently had a range of work on display at 100% Design London.
