Inventory by Ann-Sofie Granström Old institutional furniture comes to life in a new furniture piece.	Stained by Expectation by Malin Bobeck Stains are often left by mistake, and as soon as they are taken out of its context they get unidentifiable and repulsive.

SHAPE, ROOM, PATTERN by Eva Holfve and Ingrid Persson As textile designers the relation to shape and spatiality are important. We use the room as a tool and as inspiration to develop a full scale sketching method.	Deliberate Distortion by Johanna Ågren I wanted to use materials that are considered to be ugly and make them more appealing. There is beauty in the imperfection of matter. When put in a suitable context, things can be seen in another way than first was expected.

Mildew by Karin Sandqvist Is decay always considered ugly or can there be beauty within the ruined? Could it even be decorative?	Culture by Marta Kisand and Anna Lidström Culture is a project which explores crowdedness and the possibilities of creating personal space and shared space.

Safety shelter by Anna Madella and Laura Clausen When this project started the keywords were heat/cold and light/dark. The aim is to incorporate smart textiles and wearable technology into products.	MedicalMask by Marjan Kooroshnia This collection of masks is designed give an aesthetic warning if the wearer is running a fever or the concentration of allergens in the air exceeds a certain threshold.

"Tri-Me" by Pattra Pattanawala “Tri Me” is textile furniture which developed the whole construction and shape from textile material.	Recurring Patterns by Linnéa Nilsson, Mika Satomi, Anna Vallgårda, Linda Worbin Textiles always change expression over time due to use and exposure to sunlight, moist, etc. The textile on these pouffes changes expressions in a dynamic interplay with their use.
