This degree work in textile design explores how curtains can be designed to become interactive through textile prints and laser cutting. The work places itself within the field of surface pattern design. The aim was to explore interactive textile prints using perspective as a design variable when designing surface patterns for curtains. The aesthetics of traditional Swedish folk art motifs and colour were an inspiration in the design of the prints. The methods used were a combination of textile transfer printing and laser cutting. The result of this project is a collection of three printed textiles that feature laser cutting and etching in different ways. Through human interaction the textiles can be altered in different ways. It is possible to change the textile and adapt it to seasons, trends and personal preferences. The project aims to offer an alternative approach to sustainable textiles by providing people with possibility to change their interor textiles without needing to consume more products.
