This degree work is situated in the field of textile design and positions itself specifically in tactility and jacquard weaving. The motive of this work is to connect textile design with the user in a site-specific context for an including designprocess. The aim of this study is to investigate tactility in a site-specific context with playful weaves inspired by nature. The design process had its starting point in tactile and visual patterns in nature and involved hand-drawn sketches translated into woven patterns to spark curiosity and invite to touch. Along the process the produced woven sketches were tested on an audience to understand touch in relation to user but also put into a site-specific context to understand what could be developed in the space. The result of the study is four different weaves with variety in colour and tactility positioned in different parts of the chosen context - a children’s library corner. The collection consists of one floor piece, one wall piece and two interactive, movable pieces. Designing four textiles for different touch in relation to user and a site-specific context contributes to the textile field by containing a longlasting, including designprocess.
